Ganna Walska Lotusland

“A wonderland of plants”

“One of the most wonderful places in the Santa Barbara area (technically it's in Montecito) Lotusland is a 37-acre botanical garden created by Ganna Walska, a well-resourced renaissance woman with a vision. Go here for enormous cacti, prehistoric-looking cycads and the lotus pool with sculptural shell fountains. It is a botanical fever dream.”
