One of Top Ten ShelterPop Gardens

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is one of ShelterPop's Top Ten! Read what they have to say:

If you like to view colorful flora against a backdrop of blue ocean, Mendocino Coast is the place for you. Linda Brown, a volunteer at Mendocino for 20 years, encourages non-gardeners to visit simply for the stress relief. "Public gardens offer so much to the horticulturally-impaired visitor. A walk through our gardens is a great way to slow down, calm down and take advantage of just being here now," she says. Brown says visitors enjoy walking through arbors of rhododendrons in the spring, crossing over the little creeks and then coming upon the vast Pacific Ocean. "It has a way of getting one in tune with life and how spectacular it is," she says. "It's good exercise, you can bring your dog, a picnic, or just sit on a bench and zone out."
Spring blooms: In April, you can view blooming rhododendrons, camellias, daffodils, magnolias and Pacific Coast iris. Many of the trails are covered in rhododendron petals, dropped by hybrid plants growing overhead. And if you're lucky, you might see a migrating whale. It's also a hot spot for spring birdwatching. Ospreys, hawks, sandpipers and plovers routinely patrol the coastline.
