South Coast Botanic Garden is truly a place for ALL, and Las Candalistas’ support ensures that the Garden remains a safe nature space, particularly for children and families. One mother and Garden member recently told us, “Our family has many hurdles, and the Garden has always been a calming and healing place. Nature has been our best therapist and the best medicine. Our children are growing up at the Garden; it’s a part of our lives, a safe place where our kids can be kids.” – Audra Platz, Director of Development
