“There is a big greenhouse which you can access.”
“Great mix of plants/ shrubs along with a separate California native plant garden.”
“It felt like I was walking through a magical tropical forest (not just a garden) that led me to a stunning coastal view.”

From the reviews
I visited Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens between sessions of rain, which ended up being perfect timing. It was very easy to find and pleasantly larger than I first expected. One of the highlights was the hike toward the back of the gardens, where you get some incredible coastal views.
