Review:
The American Riviera Franceschi Park is the former estate of Francesco Franceschi, a famed botanist, and offers panoramic views of Santa Barbara and its great setting. In addition to being a green space for visitors and locals to relax, Franceschi Park is also a peaceful resource for horticulture in the community where Dr. Franceschi’s pioneering work is continued and honored. The American Riviera Franceschi Park promotes horticultural education, encourages passive recreation, and celebrates the aesthetics of the landscape of the Mediterranean climate. Franceschi imported more than nine hundred plant species to the climate of Santa Barbara from 1894 to 1913.
