The Ruth Bancroft Garden, located in Walnut Creek, California, features nearly three acres of succulents, pathways, and garden beds. Visitors will see a lot of aloe, agave, yucca, and cacti as they walk along the gravel pathways.
The garden was begun in the 1950s as a private collection within Bancroft Farm, a 400 acre property belonging to publisher, Hubert Howe Bancroft. In 1989, it became the first garden in the United States preserved by the Garden Conservancy. It has been open to the public since 1992.
