Question

I was pretty bummed out Sunday. After (as it turns out) breaking my toe Friday and wrenching my knee Saturday, my reward was to be a three hour trip up the coast to visit the Mendocino Coast Bot Garden, one of my favorite places. But after running around like crazy on that knee on Saturday wouldn't you know it was almost unusable on Sunday. So I was extremely hobbled, needed to stop at every bench and in loads of pain. As a result I only got the first three photos. Fortunately I have many from the past to choose from and have added a couple of those.

Mendocino Coast B.G. is located just South of Fort Bragg on the Coast Hiway. They only reopened and were very good about keeping people spaced apart and masked. It isn't the largest bot garden around but it is a very nicely laid out one, proceeding from beautifully maintained beds on a lawn, to Heather garden, Succulent garden, Woodland garden and finishing up with well maintained native plants leading to a high meadow with many benches overlooking the Pacific.
