Beautiful gem of a Botanical Garden nestled on 78 acres in Mission Canyon. There are miles of hiking and walking trails offering outstanding views and they have done a wonderful job of show-casing native California Plants. Plan on spending several hours to see just the highlights. This is a great place for bird watching and seeing the local animal wildlife, at this time of year there are a number of lizards scurrying about. Make sure and bring your binoculars,water and camera. There is a reasonable admission fee but memberships are available. Don t miss this wonderful jewel. Masks are required for admission at this time.
