Woodlake Botanical Garden Offers Free Public Visits on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays

WOODLAKE, Calif. — Residents and travelers looking for a quiet, low-cost outing can visit the city’s botanical garden without paying admission. The City of Woodlake says the 13-acre Woodlake Botanical Garden is open to the public Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., free of charge.

What grows there?

The city’s parks page describes a collection designed to show the agricultural diversity of the San Joaquin Valley. Visitors can see fruit trees, vegetable beds, ornamental shrubs, roses, field crops and flowering plants. Wildlife such as birds and butterflies may be present, though weather and seasons influence what is blooming or visible.

Where is the garden?

The city’s events directory identifies the garden at 400 East Naranjo Boulevard, Woodlake, CA 93286. It has been developed since 2003 as a local garden and education resource. The listed phone contact is 559-280-2483.

Planning a visit

The garden is an outdoor destination, so heat, rain, maintenance work or special events can affect comfort and availability. Families should carry water during warm weather, remain on marked paths and follow any posted rules about plants or photography. The published regular hours do not guarantee that special guided programming is provided every day.

Woodlake also lists other public parks and a separate Los Jardines Clean California project on its city parks website; those sites should not be confused with the botanical garden’s specific schedule.
