South Coast Botanic Garden

Update: the garden has done a great job modernizing its programs and features, with frequent dog walking days that have plenty of water, a popup bar on the weekends to have a cocktail in the garden and fun temporary events like the Soar butterfly exhibitions and Glow in the winter. Come out and support this wonderful garden. Original: Great garden with lots of trails to walk. Almost everyone is considerate and keeps space between people. Lots of grassy areas to picnic. Admission is relatively inexpensive but the memberships are worth the price.
