The largest North American display of bamboo serves as a backdrop for plants of every kind including exotic tropicals, indigenous plants and unusual specimens that flourish in this mild coastal climate allowing for a 365-day growing season. Volunteers maintain this world-renowned, 30-acre botanical garden only 30 miles north of San Diego. A botanical library is onsite for study and research. Tours are free Saturdays at 10a, group tours are available, and a gift shop and nursery are both on the grounds.
