The Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden is free and open to the public during normal park hours, which are dawn to dusk. It is a demonstration garden exhibiting drought-tolerant plants, mostly local California natives, and is a certified nature habitat. It was created and is maintained solely by volunteers, and is a teaching tool whose purpose is to promote MBBG’s mission of resource and wildlife conservation education.
We encourage activities and gatherings consistent with the mission.
The garden, including the benches, meditation garden deck and amphitheater may be used on a first come first serve basis by individuals and small groups. Please keep group activities to 90 minutes or less in order to allow others a turn. All our guests are expected to show reasonable care for signage, structures, paths, vegetation, and wildlife. Please pick up any trash and be prepared to take it with you when you leave.
