This is a continuing project. It is an illustrated annotated list of the vascular plants (those with a vascular conducting system: ferns and "fern allies" and seed plants) of Garland Ranch Regional Park located at the northern end of the Santa Lucia Range of the central California Coast Ranges. It is based on the first plant list made shortly after the park was opened in 1975, by Dr. James R. Griffin, and expanded upon by myself in subsequent years. Members of the California Native Plant Society have added additional species, some from the original 541 acre park and more from the numerous properties added in the now 32 years since.
The list should not be considered complete. There are undoubtedly many additonal species to be added. I would appreciate receiving your amendments at question [at] mindbird.com (replace the "[at]" with "@" and remove the spacing).
If you have images of Garland Park plants that you would be willing to let me use on this website, please let me know. If they are not already in electronic format, I can scan your slides, negatives, or prints. All images must be of plants photographed from within the boundaries of the park. You will receive full credit and retain copyright for any images I use. All images are subject to editing; if unsure of the species, I will probably be able to identify it for you.
