Where

Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens

Entrance fee: $14 ($12 for 60+);  Free to Garden Members

The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a great place to explore California's native plant diversity. The Garden's 78 acres encompass a variety of cultivated displays, stands of natural coast live oak, riparian woodlands, a redwood grove, an authentic Japanese teahouse, and the 1807 Mission dam and aqueduct system.

Total hike distance is approximately three miles, with some hillside trails/walkways. There are several choices for shorter or longer walks.  Dogs on leash are welcome.

No need to register. Just show up. Heavy rain cancels. Bring water and sunblock.  Please note: Each attendee is responsible for her/his entrance fee.

Directions: From Foothill Road (Route 192) turn onto Mission Canyon Road, traveling toward the mountains.  After driving approximately one mile, turn left at 1212 Mission Canyon Road into the Botanic Garden parking lot.  (Pass the parking lot exit and look for a large sign about 1/10 mile further on at the parking lot entrance.)  We will meet in the parking lot near the entry kiosk.
