Birds at MCBG (6)

Approximately 130 to 150 species of birds can be seen at the Garden throughout the year.

The collection includes species, selected cultivars and interspecific hybrids (hybrid between two species).

Along the edges of the bluff are plants adapted to poor,rocky soils and salt-laden winds.

Closed-cone coniferous forests are unique to California and occur along the coast from the northern border to Santa Barbara County.

Along with California native conifers, the garden is building a collection of conifers from around the world.
