Venues & Event Spaces in Fort Bragg, CA

“This has become one of my favorite spots in all of Northern California. This sprawling garden runs from Highway 1 to the sea. There are several sections to the garden, but it is divided (literally with a fence) between a natural area and a cultivated garden. There is a begonia & fuchsia house, a rhododendron grove, an evergreen grove, a grass lawn and "English" garden and more. Besides the begonias, I love the heather garden and dahlia gardens the most. I've taken dozens of stellar pictures here. There's even a vegetable garden where kids can learn how various vegetables grow. There is something blooming year round, though early spring and late summer are favorites of mine.

I'd recommend setting aside at least two or three hours for the complete tour. If you are coming on a holiday weekend, I'd suggest buying tickets in advance as they limit the number of people who can enter at any one time. A lot of the garden is wheelchair accessible, though not all of it. There are three restrooms in different locations, a giftshop, and a sandwich cafe (nothing to write home about) as well as a small but impressive nursery to buy some of the beautiful plants you see. Annual membership gives you reciprocity for free or discount entry at hundreds of other gardens nationwide.”

“Very clean and comfy rooms. We were on third floor facing north. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with plenty of protein and all the carb choices. Indoor swimming pool! Very close to beaches, forests and hiking trails.
Pro tip, it’s sits along Hwy 20, so ask for a room opposite of street side.”
