So much more beautiful and expansive than I guessed from all the information available online. I loved being able to take our dog with us on the trails and wow what a great walk/hike!

I went to the winter festival of lights. It was a great experience for everyone. I was able to purchase the tickets online and walk right in. There is plenty of handicap parking.I also did a mushroom identification course there several years ago.
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is a unique natural treasure located at 18220 North Highway 1, just two miles south of Fort Bragg and seven miles north of Mendocino. Our mission is to engage and enrich lives by displaying and conserving plants in harmony with our Northern California coastal ecosystems. This magnificent 47-acre site is one of the few public gardens located directly on the ocean’s shore. The mild maritime climate on the Mendocino Coast makes the Gardens a wonder year-round; each changing season brings new flora and fauna.
We welcome visitors and our local community to experience the rugged beauty of the Mendocino Coast mixed with the peaceful tranquility of our garden by the sea.
