Visitors often ask us to identify plants in the gardens, in natural areas, or at their home. Our staff loves to educate people about the botanical beauties around them.

If you would like us to help identify a plant at your home or neighborhood, please send us an email at plants@descansogardens.org. Include the information below so that we can best identify it.
