Membership

Become a Member of Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and help sustain a living treasure on Northern California’s coast. Nestled on the ancestral lands of the Northern Pomo peoples, these 47 breathtaking acres are home to dazzling rhododendrons, summer dahlias, autumn mushrooms, rare and endangered plants, and more than 180 bird species—all framed by sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.

​

By joining as a Member, you not only gain 12 months of unlimited access to gardens, forests, and coastal trails, but also help conserve plant diversity, preserve public access to the coast, and support vital education and conservation programs. Those who choose the Supporter Level go the extra mile in safeguarding this coastal gem, ensuring it thrives for all who visit now and in the future.
