Located on the undeveloped Dry Creek Park property, Clovis Botanical Garden is a facility that is destined to grow from its current one acre into an important San Joaquin Valley attraction. Work on six more acres of attractive water-wise, Mediterranean climate trees, shrubs and perennials is under way.

The City of Clovis recently completed a trail connection next to the creek and a city park will be added later. The combined facility will eventually include a 4000 sq. ft visitor center.


Clovis citizen Gordon Russell introduced the Botanical Garden idea to Clovis City Council in October 1993, but work on the first acre did not begin until late 2002.

In the time from concept to start, interested citizens formed an organization, adopted bylaws, obtained nonprofit status and developed a site plan. A city-owned location and an initial seven acre site plan were adopted after much negotiation. City of Clovis Director of Planning and Engineering, John Wright and Councilmember Patricia (“Pat”) Wynne helped us get approval to develop the first acre to demonstrate our concept. A state grant obtained by Assemblyman Mike Briggs gave us the initial funding.
