The Ruth Bancroft Garden & Nursery is a nonprofit public garden and nursery nestled in the suburbs of Walnut Creek, California. It is maintained and enhanced in the spirit of the founder, Ruth Bancroft, and is world-renowned for its plant collection and design. The garden features low-water, climate appropriate agaves, aloes, cacti, California native plants, echeveria, yucca and more! As part of our mission, we strive to connect people with the types of plants that are grown in the Garden, and one way we fulfill that is through Design Services. Our outstanding team of skilled designers can help you realize a fully or mostly California native garden of your dreams.
