Jensen Botanical Gardens, Botanical garden in Carmichael, California, US.

Jensen Botanical Gardens is a 3.5-acre (1.42-hectare) botanical garden at 8520 Fair Oaks Boulevard in Carmichael, California, created in 1958 by Charles C. Jensen. Its plantings include camellias, dogwoods, azaleas, rhododendrons, Japanese maples, magnolias, coast redwoods and thousands of tulips in spring. A Nature Path for the Blind and visually impaired, opened in spring, lets visitors touch textures and smell the plants.

Charles C. Jensen founded this garden in 1958 after retiring from his work as a produce buyer and moved many plants from his property in Oakland to create it. The collection grew from his personal interest in growing different plant varieties.

Charles and his wife opened the garden for parties and weddings, and enjoyed showing visitors around it themselves. After Jensen's death, citizens formed the Charles C. Jensen Botanical Garden, Inc. Committee to save the grounds, which passed to the Carmichael Recreation and Park District in 1976. Volunteers of the Friends of the Jensen Botanical Garden now care for the plantings.

The garden sits at 8520 Fair Oaks Boulevard in Carmichael and is open during daylight hours with no admission charge. The Nature Path for the Blind and visually impaired, opened in spring, has adapted routes for blind visitors and people with physical disabilities, where textures and plant fragrances can be experienced by touch.

One feature is the Nature Path for the Blind, a special route with plants chosen for their different textures and scents that can be explored by touch. This area shows how the grounds were made accessible to people with vision impairments.
