Susan and Dan Gottlieb have always seen the Gottlieb Native Garden as a resource that educates visitors, offers scientists a swath of urban nature to study, and provides a gathering space for environmental groups of all kinds to collaborate and amplify the impact of their work.
The Gottlieb Native Garden is an inspiration for anyone who loves gardening, wildlife, urban nature, and the sights, smells and sounds of the wild southern California landscape.
