Inside, you’ll find more than 500 species of wild plants, carefully organized by botanical family and labeled with both common and scientific names. It’s part educational exhibit, part living gallery, where color, texture, and form take center stage.
Each specimen is responsibly collected by trained volunteers working under special permits, covering a wide stretch of the Central Coast from the Monterey County line to the Morro Bay Estuary and inland into the Santa Lucia Mountains. The result is an incredibly diverse snapshot of the 800+ native plant species that thrive in this region.
Once gathered, the plants are arranged in an eye-catching display using antique and unusual glass bottles and vases, adding a layer of visual character that makes the exhibit feel both curated and organic.
Throughout the weekend, knowledgeable plant experts will be available to answer questions and share insights on edible, medicinal, rare, invasive, and even poisonous species. It’s an approachable way to learn more about the landscape you’re walking through.
Visitors can also stop by the Wildflower Café for snacks and drinks, and browse nature-inspired goods from local organizations including Friends of the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and the California Native Plant Society.
Behind the scenes, this event represents hundreds of hours of volunteer work, all dedicated to showcasing the natural beauty of the Central Coast and encouraging a deeper connection to the environment.
Whether you’re a plant enthusiast, a casual visitor, or simply looking for something different to do in Cambria, this is one of the most distinctive events of the spring season.
