HBG is listed by the California Native Plant Society as one of the 17 California gardens with notable California native plant collections.[8]
The Gardens were first organized in 1991.[2] The area's climate, which straddles Mediterranean and Pacific Marine allows for a diverse group of plants.[2] Its Native Plant Garden has an emphasis on the Humboldt region, but includes plants in the geographic area from the Rogue River to the north shore of San Francisco Bay, and inland to a north–south line running from Vacaville through Williams, Redding, Yreka, Medford, and along the Rogue River to its mouth. Other gardens are: “All Happy Now” earth sculpture, Riparian Area, Greenhouse, the Temperate Woodland Garden and the Ornamental Terrace Garden,[1] Rose Garden, Heather Garden, Pollinator Garden,[9] plus five miles of hiking trails.[10]
The Humboldt Botanical Garden is particularly interested in maintaining complete native conifer, Iris and Lilium occidental (western lily) collections. Its Mission Statement is: To cultivate a garden that provides an enjoyable discovery into the botanical world through education, participation and community service.[11]
The gardens are available as a special events venue.[4]
In March 2023, HBG became the northernmost site for safeguarding the state-listed endangered species Vine Hill manzanita (Arctostaphylos densiflora) which is native to Sebastopol, Sonoma County, California.[12][13][14]
Another critically endangered species is the Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), a native of Australia which has been planted at HBG. It was known only from fossils until found near Sydney, Australia in 1994.[15]
