If a family member has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related neurocognitive disorder, a caregiver support group can offer you an opportunity to find out more about available community resources, learn from others who are going through similar experiences, and build a support system. Our Salinas caregiver support group meets on the first Wednesday of each month, without a fee. Open to family members. These groups are led by a trained facilitator and will now meet in person at the First Baptist Church.
This group offers an introduction to the practice of mindfulness. Discover inner peace and well-being in our group psychotherapy program where you'll learn restorative practices, relaxation techniques, personalized self-care, and mindfulness meditation that is guided by experienced therapists. Cultivate resilience and emotional balance in a supportive environment focused on holistic healing.

First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your understanding of the Arboretum's plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide and the people who join in. You might learn more about the birds and mammals that make this land their home or about the amazing physical adaptations that plants have evolved to better deal with extreme weather and climate conditions.
Tours given on the 1st Saturday of each month - at 11am
Tour is FREE with paid admission!
Meet your tour guide(s) at the entrance to the Visitor Parking lot. Walks will be about one hour.
