Claremont : $250,000 Grant for Garden
- Share via
Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden has received a $250,000 grant from the Dan Murphy Foundation of Los Angeles for renovation and construction of facilities for plant research, horticulture and conservation.
The nonprofit garden cultivates native California plants and serves as the botany program for the Claremont Colleges.
The Dan Murphy foundation was created by the late Bernardine Murphy Donohue in honor of her father, a Los Angeles philanthropist who died in 1941. Although the foundation primarily funds Catholic educational interests, the Murphy family was also interested in gardening and plants, according to a spokesman for the garden.
