    Botanical Activity Guide How Gardens Can Inspire Calm and Teach Life Lessons School Programs and Partnerships Welcome to The Huntington! This activity guide is based on seven of the 16 themed gardens at The Huntington. The Herb Garden was established in the 1970s and is designed to showcase herbs in four general categories of use: Medicinal, Culinary/Flavor, Cosmetic and Perfume, and Dyes/Fibers The Shakespeare Garden features plants with a variety of textures and colors, a number of which were mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays, that were grown during the 1500–1600s, or have connections to plants of the Renaissance. The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science is a 16,000-sq.-ft. greenhouse with a plant lab and three different plant habitats: a lowland tropical rainforest, a cloud forest, and a carnivorous plant bog. The Desert Garden, established more than a century ago, hosts approximately 2,000 succulent species and highlights the ways plants have adapted to survive heat, drought, and animal predators. The Ranch Garden is a teaching garden where gardening techniques are demonstrated and experimental concepts are tested. It is home to fruit trees, vegetables, perennial herbs, native shrubs, and reseeding annuals. The Brody California Garden is filled with native and other Mediterranean-climate plants that can thrive in southern California.
