The Humboldt Botanical Garden is under construction on a 44.5 acre site south of Eureka near the Humboldt Bay at the College of the Redwoods. Funding, construction and administration of the Garden is under the leadership and sponsorship of HBGF. The Garden is designed and will operate to fulfill the following mission:
      The Garden shall provide a public display of documented native and exotic plants adapted to the local climate in a planned landscape that will provide an educational, aesthetic, and tranquil experience for visitors.
      The Garden shall work to advance global plant conservation efforts, horticultural, botanical, and ecological knowledge; propagation and dispersal of adapted plants; and community education and development. Sustainable practices shall protect and conserve resources and enhance habitat for the local creatures compatible with the Garden Mission.

      The Garden is designed to stand alone and will provide a beautiful and functional botanical garden for Humboldt County and Northwestern California. Installations of gardens are scheduled for 2006-2008. Completed sections of the Humboldt Botanical Garden are scheduled to open to the public in 2008. The cost of the initial phase is $6 million.
