If for any reason you ever find yourself on Fort Bragg, California, you must visit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden. Created by Ernest and Betty Schoefer, the property originally was a display garden and nursery for the retired pair. Clearing the land was rough, but it was worth it. Today the gardens are perfect gem that should not be missed.
I feel bad that I have not tagged and named all of these pictures but I have run out of my wifi time and I have to get back on the road again.

Sikes! That drop off makes me nervous. I hope you were being safe! Obviously you were. LOL What a neat nursery. Did you buy anything?

Grace, I was safe because my husband reminded me that a woman fell to her death during the 1990s trying to chase her camera on just such a ledge in Sonoma County. So sad. As for purchases, I waited to buy plants at Annie's Annuals. I wish I'd bought more but I have been stocking up on vintage stuff for my etsy shops.
