Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens Review
The gardens have something for nature lovers in every season. Even in winter, heather and camellias bloom. Along 3 1/2 miles of trails, including pathways with ocean views and observation points for whale-watching, is a splendid profusion of flowers. The rhododendrons are at their peak from April through June; the dahlias begin their spectacular show in August and last until October.
