California, with over 6,000 kinds of native plants, has the richest flora of any state in the continental United States. Susanna Bixby Bryant, a visionary member of one of California's pioneering families, recognized the need to conserve this incredible plant diversity. In 1927 she founded RSABG on her rancho in Orange County. Relocated to Claremont in 1951 RSABG is the largest botanical garden dedicated exclusively to our state's native plants. The garden is located at an elevation of 1.350 feet on the outwash plain of the San Gabriel Mountain. It contains 86 acres of heavily planted mature cultivars and wild species of California native plants.
To get credit for the cache there are three sites to visit in the garden and questions to answer. Please email me the answers, don't post them here even if encrypted.
