Ventura Botanical Gardens

The Ventura Botanical Gardens is a 107-acre world-class site with spectacular views of the California coastline, verdant agricultural vistas, the Channel Islands, and Ojai’s Topa Topa peak. With a 40-year master plan and already over 30,000 plants in the ground, the Gardens represent the five Mediterranean climate zones of the world; Chile, the Cape of South Africa, Southern Australia, the Mediterranean Basin, and California. These low water climate zones, like Ventura, allow for long-term sustainability.

Leashed dogs are welcome on select days, check the Garden's website for days, entrance fees and hours.
