A bed of flowering magnolia soulangiana next to the East Room replica. Identical and in the same location as the White House magnolias, the Alexandrina, with its pinkish-purple saucer-sized blooms, was selected in consultation with the staff of the White House gardens.
Twenty Debutante camellias, a soft pink that was among Mrs. Nixon's favorite colors, grace the elegant Muth Patio adjacent to the White House East Room.
Near the cornerstone of the East Room replica is a bed of classic soft pink, 1843 roses, Souvenir de la Malmaison.

The nine acre campus is situated on and surrounding the grounds of the house where Nixon was born and spent his childhood, today in a suburban area of Orange County, California near California State Route 57 and California State Route 90 (Imperial Highway).

Water is a great feature in any garden. This is a step fountain at the Nixon Library Garden in Yorba Linda. This is a good example of using stored water to create a cooling effect in a garden. This works especially well in low humidity climates like that in Yorba Linda.
Garden flowers should be placed so that they invite a passerby to stop and take a sniff. The Nixon Library Garden in Yorba Linda makes good use of this principle
