A Botanical Center features classrooms, research labs, greenhouses, and The Rose Hills Foundation Conservatory for Botanical Science. Featured subjects of conferences, lectures, and workshops include succulents, roses, the history of gardens, and botanical research. The Huntington also sponsors an annual Chinese Garden Lecture Series.
