The stone garden was originally built for the 1915–16 Panama–California Exposition. During the 1935–36 California Pacific International Exposition it was the site of Zoro Garden Nudist Colony, which featured mostly-nude performers rather than practicing nudists.[1]
Zoro Garden is now planted as a butterfly garden. It is open to the public and can be reserved for special events.[2]
