OUR MISSION

The Coalition’s ultimate mission is to envision, inspire, protect and guide thoughtful leaders in planning and creating a 59-acre world-class destination public garden for generations to come at the 1,300-acre Orange County Great Park in Irvine, CA.

YOUR PARK

Conduct a search for information on the Orange County Great Park and this is what you will find: sports fields, amphitheater, water park, balloon ride, carousel ride, ice rink, tennis courts, and large expanses of turf.

What is not found are public gardens!

GET INVOLVED

Today’s help will bloom in the garden for generations to come.

How often do you get the opportunity to be on the ground floor of a new world-class botanic garden? Please help create this future community treasure. Your actions can support this worthy cause.

GROW THE GREAT PARK GARDEN
