The Niguel Botanical Preserve is an 18-acre
botanical garden located within Crown Valley
Community Park in the City of Laguna Niguel.
Started in 1981 as a community vegetable
garden, the Preserve represents the vision of
local community leaders who dreamed of
horticultural education and the enjoyment of
future generations. It was incorporated as a
non-profit corporation in 1984. Since then,
development has been an ongoing volunteer
project.
The Preserve's plant collections are loosely
organized according to region: Australia, Africa,
South America, Mediterranean and California/
Mexico.
Walking trails connect specialty gardens and
seating areas.
