Santa Barbara Botanical Garden

I went to the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden to take some pictures.  This 78 acre garden contains over 1,000 species of rare and indigenous California plants.  Considering that we are in the fourth year of a sever drought, the plants are holding up really well.  My favorite part is the Redwood Section.

I was surprised to see so many plants in bloom given the time of year and the drought.
