Join Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens’ Horticulturist Paul Ruiz-Lopez for monthly guided tours through the horticultural and natural areas of the gardens. The main focus of the walk will vary from month to month, with May’s focus being North Coast Seabirds. You will also keep an eye out for plants and animals such as birds, marine mammals, insects, amphibians, and more. The idea is to highlight the prominent “phenomenon” occurring in the garden and natural areas each month. Bring your own binoculars, windbreaker, journal and pencil. Walks are free with regular Gardens admission or completely free with memberships. Saturday, May 25. 10 a.m. (arrive early, space is limited). Tours leave from the entry place at MCBG. 18220 N. Hwy. 1, Fort Bragg. Learn more at gardenbythesea.org.
