One of our recommeded private California garden destinations is in the ecalyputus covered foothills of Montecito a small village adjacent to Santa Barbara. Lotusland is an incredible Santa Barbara garden of transplanted exotics and vivid contrasts. The plant selections here beckon the visitor to wonder how did that plant get here? We know from attending docent tours, that the successive owners' horticultural interest compounded the importation and transplanting of many special plant species. The Lotusland organization offers visitor information and great opportunity for photographers. It is a garden place you surely won't forget.
