Bartender, Temporary

South Coast Botanic Garden is a renowned 87-acre destination dedicated to connecting people with the wonders of nature while inspiring stewardship and sustainability. The garden is uniquely situated atop a reclaimed sanitary landfill, transforming what once was an unlikely site into a vibrant oasis of formal gardens and natural walking trails. Among its signature attractions are the Dorothy and John Bohannon Rose Garden, the Living Wall—an impressive exhibit featuring eight large-scale works of fine art sculpture—and the seasonal butterfly pavilion. The garden also hosts programs that combine music, craft, science, and wellness activities to engage guests actively with nature. Furthermore, a new 3.5-acre Marilyn and John Long Children and Family Garden is set to open soon, adding to the garden's appeal and diversity. This vibrant and dynamic environment offers an enriching experience both for visitors and employees alike.
