Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden 2

We followed the paved path and it led to the rhododendrons that were blooming in May. The rhododendrons are considered the main attraction of the garden.


Entering the rhododendron garden.








We encountered a cool little gate and we pushed it open and we entered what seemed to be a new realm.


Past the gate the path made a beeline to the ocean passing through misty wooded area with ferns filling the ground under the trees.










We have reached the ocean's edge. Just to the left of little hut (restrooms)is another hut perched atop the cliff serving as a covered lookout point. It has large windows for viewing the ocean without getting much of the brunt of the cold wind.

I really enjoyed the wooded area of the garden, especially with the fog making the experience even more enchanting.
