Kudos for Quarryhill

Quarryhill Botanical Garden, located in Sonoma Country, California, has drawn a rave review from Alice Joyce in The San Francisco Chronicle. A relatively new garden (nothing planted before 1990), Quarryhill Botanical Garden and the David C. Lam Asian Garden at UBC share a similar mandate: a focus on wild-collected Asian plants.

The article alternates between explaining the scientific and conservation role of Quarryhill with descriptions of the garden and its rare plants.

Quarryhill and UBC complement each other very well; Quarryhill is able to grow plants with in drier, warmer conditions while UBC caters to plants that succeed in cooler temperatures with more rainfall. If you are interested in Asian plants, a visit to both is a requirement if arrangements can be made.
