Retro Sunday is Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens day of giving back to the community that has supported us for more than 63 years! This annual community appreciation day’s old-fashioned pricing is the Gardens’ way of sharing the love.

For those who have not visited in a while, come see what’s new and blooming this fall. Delight in the dahlias, begonias, fuchsias, and so much more.

Find inspiration for your home garden, have a family picnic, walk the dog, or find a quiet spot to melt the day away... just a few ideas to get you started.
