The Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden is a central educational component in the Humboldt Botanical Gardens. HBGF is especially interested in maintaining complete native conifer, iris and lily collections. The propagating and growing of the endangered Lilium Occidentale (Western Lily) in the Native Garden, with related greenhouse and education activities, will be of special interest to the Garden's horticulturists and visitors. The Native Plant Garden emphasizes the Humboldt County Region but includes plants in the greater geographic area from the Rogue River in Oregon to the north shore of San Francisco Bay and inland to a north-south line which runs from Vacaville through Williams, Redding, Yreka, Medford, and then follows the Rogue River to its mouth. To be considered a "native plant" for the Garden's purpose a plant would have some part of their range in this geographical area prior to October 12, 1492. The Native Plant Garden provides visitors with striking examples
of how native plants can be aesthetically integrated and used to conserve
resources as well as to create a beautiful cultivated landscape. The
resources-conserving benefits of using less water, fertilizer, pesticides,
and maintenance will be emphasized.
