    No entrance fee. Nice little garden in Buellton with a variety of native plants. Unfortunately it could definitely do with some tlc! There's a nice green area and place for large picnics. Restrooms are also available.

    It’s more of a nice, chill garden area. There’s no booth or anything so “Botanic Garden” might not be what you are expecting. But it’s a very nice place to walk around. Some parts a little overgrown. But very peaceful. Nice in the mornings.
