Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens

Dunsmuir City Park and Botanical Gardens is a 10-acre municipal park and botanical garden maintained by Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens Inc., a non-profit 501organization of volunteers within Dunsmuir City Park in the city of Dunsmuir, California near Mount Shasta. The Gardens are on City of Dunsmuir property under the general control of Siskiyou County via the Board of Directors of the Dunsmuir Park & Recreation District.

The Botanical Gardens encompass about ten acres of a hilly, wooded area with a meadow, a playground area, and picnic sites bordering the Upper Sacramento River. Native white dogwood is prolific in the park and blooms in the spring. There are many Shasta lilies growing on the hillsides and native azaleas grow along the river. In addition to the many native species, a variety of other perennial plants and shrubs have been introduced. These include rhododendrons, hostas, ferns and Japanese maples. During the spring and summer, various annual plants are cultivated.
