Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Botanical garden and nonprofit organization in Mission Canyon, California.
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden extends across 78 acres, featuring numerous native California plant species and walking paths through different ecological zones.
Landscape architect Beatrix Farrand established this botanical collection in 1926, creating a space dedicated to preserving and displaying California native plants.
The garden maintains research programs focused on protecting endangered plant species while offering educational activities about native flora through guided tours.
Visitors can access the garden daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and until 5:00 PM on weekends, with parking available near the entrance.
