The Gardens at Heather Farm
About this place
A six-acre garden in Walnut Creek offering free admission and open seven days a week. The grounds include a children's garden, shade garden, rock and salvia garden, and waterfall garden among other planted areas. Families can explore the spaces, and children can participate in education programs covering topics like wildlife habitats, plant anatomy, water conservation and environmental stewardship. The gardens also run floral arranging classes led by local artists, and a plant shop sells perennials, annuals, herbs, succulents and native California plants.
If you are a member here
A membership to The Gardens at Heather Farm carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
