Updated photos from June 2026!! One of our favorite places in San Diego! FREE entry & LOTS of gardens to peruse!! They have a Barn Shoppe with cozy home & garden items, homemade body soap, lotion/oils, & more! They have an outdoor coffee bar with snacks & delicious lavender lemonade with sprigs of fresh lavender!! There is a shaded patio area with lots of seats to sip, eat, & relax under & a plant nursery & herbal garden to purchase for your home garden. A cat(sweet) & chickens also live there. In the fall, they have a corn maze & pumpkins to purchase & then, in the spring, a sunflower maze & tons of other blooms. They even offer classes on soap making, fairy garden designing, & more. A great place to go on a date, take your family, have a Bible study, take photos, & just get away from the craziness of life.

We've been here twice. There are so many kinds of flowers blooming, and it's so beautiful and lovely. There's a small cafe, shops, a sandbox for kids, etc... I want to come back here again!

This is a beautiful garden to come and enjoy mother nature’s beauty, there is a cafe and a lot of outside space and seating. I really enjoyed the views and the way it’s displayed and shared with the community with no admission. I appreciate how thoughtful it was put together and the way it is presented and shared with everyone. It’s a beautiful hidden gem and I plan on returning again. A must see

Very beautiful and kid friendly spot. Perfect for taking your own food and having a picnic on the lawn. Staff super helpful and welcoming. Bought a lavender spray for my linens and some tomatoes freshly picked from the farm. Definitely a place I will be coming back to.
