The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a 78-acre botanical garden, containing over 1,000 species of rare and indigenous plants. In spring, the meadow provides the opportunity to view our own local “superbloom” of bright orange California poppies (Eschscholzia californica), the purples of blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), and a changing palette of annual wildflowers. The garden features an incredible array of plant eco-systems including towering redwoods, a pollinator garden, exquisite manzanitas, native coastal canyon and incredible views of the mountains, ocean and sky.
