Park Information
About Our Nonprofit
After selling their Nob Hill Foods supermarkets, the Park was created and built by Michael and Claudia Bonfante and is designed to educate guests and to foster a greater appreciation of horticulture.
Our Mission and Vision
Michael Bonfante is the park's creator and builder. It was his vision, love for plants and trees that inspired the park's design landscaping and attractions. Today we aspire to continue Michael's dream and park mission.
Educational Programs
It's a place where kids can learn and grow, and where fun grows on trees! We have many educational programs available designed specifically with children in mind.
