Visit the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
Situated on 85 acres in the stunning Santa Ynez foothills, this living museum features walking trails, historic landmarks, and exquisite exhibits of California’s native plants. From coastal Redwoods to chaparral, the garden is fully landscaped with a variety of floral exhibits and seasonal highlights. The Mission Damn and Aqueduct, which was built in 1807 by Native Americans under the authority of the Franciscan Padres, has been deemed both a state and county historic landmark.

Attend an Equestrian Polo Match
Every Sunday afternoon from April through October world class equestrian polo is played at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Carpinteria – the the third-oldest club in the United States. Practices and tournament games and played throughout the week, but it’s the Sunday afternoon Finals which are a best bet.

View the Wildflowers on Figueroa Mountain
Spring time in Santa Barbara means wild flowers. And a favorite destination for locals to view the wildflowers is Figueroa Mountain. The drive through Santa Barbara wine country and up through the breath-taking foothills leads visitors to a sea of California poppies and Lupine flowers. Figueroa Mountain is a perfect place to picnic, hike, photograph and explore. CLICK HERE for information and pictures.
