Its Native Plant Garden has an emphasis on the Humboldt region, but includes plants in the geographic area from the Rogue River to the north shore of San Francisco Bay, and inland to a north–south line running from Vacaville through Williams, Redding, Yreka, Medford, and along the Rogue River to its mouth. Other gardens are: “All Happy Now” earth sculpture, Riparian Area, Greenhouse, the Temperate Woodland Garden and the Ornamental Terrace Garden, Rose Garden, Heather Garden, Pollinator Garden, plus five miles of hiking trails.

The Humboldt Botanical Garden is particularly interested in maintaining complete native conifer, Iris and Lilium occidental (western lily) collections.

The gardens are available as a special events venue.

Endangered Species Protection

In March 2023, HBG became the northernmost site for safeguarding the state-listed endangered species Vine Hill manzanita (Arctostaphylos densiflora) which is native to Sebastopol, Sonoma County, California.

Another critically endangered species is the Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), a native of Australia which has been planted at HBG. It was known only from fossils until found near Sydney, Australia in 1994.
