The land immediately surrounding historic Old St. Hilary’s Church in Tiburon was set aside as a historical landmark in the 1950’s, but it didn’t pass into public hands until the 1990’s. The slope below the church is called the John Thomas Howell Botanical Garden. The only place to see the extremely rare Tiburon Jewelflower is within this 177 acre preserve. The flower has been named Streptanthus Niger because of its dark, almost black, maroon petals. It is usually seen in mid-May. Other featured species at this site are the Acmon Blue butterfly, the Barn Swallow, the Leopard Lily and the Two-toned Tidytips. Views from the top of the preserve are spectacular.
