Review & FAQ:

The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden sits on the grounds of El Chorro Regional Park, which is located in between the city and Morro Bay. The park features a number of gardens, but the 5-acre Preview Garden is a good place to start. It shows a sampling of plant life from each of the five major Mediterranean climate zones. Among other gardens, the unique Life Celebration Garden is a place where people can purchase memorial engravings to be displayed in memory or celebration of their loved ones. There are also a nursery and greenhouse on site, where plants are grown for the garden, for county parks, and for sale to visitors.
