CA Native Plants Botanical Garden in Tilden Park, Berkeley, CA

I went here yesterday with a friend of mine. It's free to check it out, but maybe because it's supposed to be a native plant garden, or maybe just because it isn't being kept up... it's a little scraggly. The pathways are overgrown with plants, the labels that exist don't necessarily have that plant nearby, and many of the plants that exist don't have labels.

It is sorted by area of California, there's are nine California habitats represented. There are a number of grassy areas to hang out and picnic or enjoy the sun. They also seem to have a good number of classes that they offer, and there is a nursery, where you can buy plants, but it wasn't open when I visited, which is probably a good thing for my bank account.
