Organized groups of 12 people or more planning to visit the Garden during regular hours are required to contact the Garden by calling (562) 985-8420 or by emailing jgcoordinators@csulb.edu to obtain permission beforehand. A minimum of one week’s advance notice is required, and group visits of 40 or more are required to pay a $1 per person fee.
