Fun stop on the way home from Cambria. There's a steep hike with nice views. The garden is big and there's so much to discover.

The garden may be on the smaller size but the classes are events are note-worthy. It feels good to support an organization that aligns with my eco-values.

Compared to most botanical gardens I have visited, this one is rather sparse. However, it is cute, quaint, and dog-friendly! It also features a separate children's garden with areas for them to play and do activities. It's definitely worth a look, especially if you have kids and/or dogs!
The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden is located on the Central Coast of California. We strive to delight, educate and inspire people to embrace nature, outdoor recreation, community interaction, celebration of the arts, creative endeavors, and health and wellness; to showcase and support world-class botanical collections, horticultural research, plant propagation, local history, and more.
The Garden hosts educational and artistic programming, and the Gift Shop features locally created artisan goods, souvenirs, and drought tolerant plants. The Garden is exclusively devoted to the ecosystems and plants of the five Mediterranean climate regions of the world.
