Wrigley Botanical Gardens

Wrigley Botanical Gardens is a 38-acre garden near Avalon on Santa Catalina Island that combines a landscaped botanic garden with a memorial to William Wrigley Jr. Operated by the Catalina Island Conservancy, it is distinguished by its focus on California island endemic plants found naturally on the Channel Islands and nowhere else. The site reflects Catalina’s natural history rather than serving as a broad ornamental display. Its memorial features a 130-foot tower, built mainly from local materials, where Wrigley was first interred after his death in 1932. Though his remains were later moved to Glendale, his original grave marker remains at the tower.
