Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, United States | Botanical Gardens

Welcome to The Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden in Fort Bragg, California, United States. The Mendocino Coast Botantical Garden offers everything from colorful displays to thunderous waves. The mild maritime climate makes it a garden for all seasons, attracting gardeners and nature lovers.With manicured formal gardens, a dense coastal pine forest, native flora and habitats, fern-covered canyons, camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and conifers, and flower-filled coastal bluffs overlooking the blue ocean, the garden is a jewel on the Pacific Coast.
The Garden is known for its tender species rhododendrons that produce some of the most fragrant blossoms of the year. Native to the cloud forests of Southeast Asia and the Himalayas, these gems are restricted to a narrow band along the northern California coast in the United States, where they thrive in the foggy, coastal climate.
The collection of heaths and heathers is a national treasure as are the species camellias. Equally if not more important, the natural areas of the garden harbor six different rare and endangered plants. A wonderfully weird forest of pines leads to the breezy bluff of the coastal prairies and views of the Pacific Ocean in all of its moods and glory.
The Garden has become a haven for bird watchers with the list of bird species now at over 150. It's rare to spot a red-throated loon or double-crested cormorant in spring, but in summer they are common, as are the black oystercatcher, which frequents the rocky coastline year-round. Ospreys, hawks, sandpipers, plovers and Canada geese are also regulars. If you're vigilant and look carefully, on very rare occasions, you might even spot an ash-throated flycatcher, a savannah sparrow or a red-breasted nuthatch.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden, Fort Bragg, California, United States.
