Cambria Nursery's Garden, Cambria

Garden in a sunny, sheltered spot, with cottage with turret under redwood trees, Buddhist gazebo, goats, and flowers galore! Seasonal pumpkins and Christmas market!

Madonna Inn Secret Garden, SLO

Walk the secret garden and up the hilly paths around the hotel, plus admire the ranunculus flowers at the Madonna Inn entrance door in springtime, then have a cookie or drink in the cafe or bar. A very romantic choice. 

Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Garden

Giant roses, camellias, tall tropical palms, and grape vine trellis in the garden behind the San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Mission. Enter at Palm Street. 

Leaning Pine Arboretum, Cal Poly

Stroll past many different types of trees from around the world, blossoming with seeds and flowers. See the horses near the entrance. 

Emerson Community Garden and Old Town Historic District, SLO

Emerson Park Community Garden is actually pretty nice to walk around to see flowers. After, take a walk past Victorian homes and their gardens, in the neighborhood.

South Palisades Park and Peyton Court tropical yard

If I'm longing for a tropical garden, there is none in SLO! But...I admire the fishtail palms and tropical trees at someone's garden on Peyton Court, and then check out the many flowers and palms in South Palisades Park.

Sunken Garden in Atascadero

There are classical sculptures and fountains around City Hall and tall, regal trees in the Sunken Garden, which is more a park than a garden, in Atascadero. Walk to Bramble Pies Company after.

Downtown City Park in Paso Robles

Paso Robles doesn't have a garden but it does have Downtown City Park, with tall, gorgeous trees.

Heritage Square Park, Arroyo Grande Village

Heritage Square Park in Arroyo Grande Village is not a garden but does have impressive trees, a lush feel, and behind it, a creek with a swinging bridge and tropical vegetation. Cottages nearby have pretty gardens. Rori's Ice Cream is a good stop after.

San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden

Some nice trees such as mayten trees from the Andes foothills, but overall they chose too dry of an area for this botanical garden.
