San Diego Botanic Garden
A 37-acre urban oasis in Encinitas
Established in 1970, San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) is a 37-acre urban oasis that creates, shares and applies plant wisdom with people of all backgrounds, ages and interests. The Garden's four miles of trails display more than 5,000 plant species and varieties, including 300 plants for which SDBG is the only garden maintaining a population. SDBG has 15 gardens that represent different regions of the world, 12 demonstration gardens, and the largest public bamboo collection in North America. SDBG has three children's gardens, including its flagship, one-acre Hamilton Children's Garden, the largest kids' garden on the west coast.
The main entrance to the Garden is located at 300 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas, CA, 92024. The main parking lot is off Ecke Ranch Road, next to the glass Dickinson Family Education Conservatory. SDBG currently requires all visitors (both members and non-members) to reserve an entry time online before arriving at the Garden.
