Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens offers everything from colorful displays to thunderous waves. As a nonprofit botanical garden, our mission is to engage and enrich lives by displaying and conserving plants in harmony with our Northern California coastal ecosystems and to preserve public access to the coast. The mild maritime climate makes it a garden for all seasons, attracting gardeners and nature lovers. With manicured formal gardens, a dense coastal pine forest, native flora and habitats, fern-covered canyons, camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and conifers, heaths, heathers, and flower-filled coastal bluffs overlooking the blue ocean, the garden is a jewel on the Pacific Coast.

Bring the whole family and make a day of it. Dogs are welcome and enjoy free admission! The Gardens are located at 18220 North Highway One, Fort Bragg, California 95437. For more information call 707-964-4352, or visit www.gardenbythesea.org.
