MENDOCINO BOTANICAL GARDENS


This place was a total surprise to me. My daughter spotted it and said that she would like to visit while we were there over the weekend. Am I glad we did! This place is huge and filled with sculptures and wonderful plantings.

Everywhere we walked there was another vista to look at and capture our interest. We walked and walked for hours.

The gardens go all the way out to the bluffs overlooking the ocean so there is much to see and do. They have chairs and benches everywhere to sit and enjoy your lunch if you choose to take it in with you. And dogs are welcome!





























































































































































They have the most beautiful dahlia gardens there. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend this place.

  3. It's been so many years since I have been here. Thanks for all the lovely pictures.
    My friend "C" use to live there and I would go visit her every year about this time. I miss the trip and the beauty of Mendocino, Casper and Fort Bragg.
    I was looking at real estate in Fort Bragg recently. You post reminds me why I love it so.
