The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens are located on 47 acres (19 hectares) in Fort Bragg, California, USA between California’s Highway One and the Pacific Ocean. It includes canyons, wetlands, coastal bluffs, and a closed-cone pine forest.
The Gardens were founded in 1961 by Ernest and Betty Schoefer. In 1992, the California Coastal Conservancy purchased the Gardens and transferred them to the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Park District. They are now operated as a nonprofit organization. Collections include: Camellia Collection, Coastal Bluffs, Dahlia Garden, Fern Canyon, Heather Garden, Heritage Rose Garden, North Forest, Pacifica Iris Collection, Perennial Garden, Tender Rhododendrons, Vegetable Garden and Woodland Garden, and over 80 wild mushroom varieties.
