Student Assistants Program Sponsors The Student Assistants Program provides funds for hiring student employees, who maintain the arboretum. We receive no funds from the State of California for this purpose. Typically, a student employee is responsible for all the maintenance in an entire garden and the group works together, as needed, on large projects. A manager, also paid by Student Assistants Program funds, oversees the arboretum under the guidance of the Arboretum Director. Each of these generous donors contributes to the Student Assistants Program:

  • Ambassador Bill & Jean Lane, since 2000
  • Benchmark Landscape Inc., since 2002
  • California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers:
    • Central Chapter, since 1999
    • Channel Islands Chapter, since 1999
  • Lompoc Valley Botanic & Horticultural Society, since 1996
  • Monrovia Growers, since 2005
  • Native Sons Nursery, since 1997
  • Timothy A. Gaskin, since 2007
  • Valley Crest Landscape Maintenance, since 1998

Previous Student Assistants Program Sponsors:
