Description
Reconstructed from structures originally built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, the complex serves as an active civic hub anchored by a 640-seat theatre and shared gathering spaces. A steady rotation of regional botanical groups meets here—spanning orchids, succulents, and ikebana to carnivorous plants and plumeria—with many plant society meetings open to the public alongside vendor shows, civic floral exhibitions, and community dance classes.
