Green thumbs will love strolling around the perfectly landscaped grounds of Lotusland. Admire the collection of plant species, see if you can spot some wildlife or simply kick back on the grass.

This showcase of plants is often on the itineraries of visitors to Montecito. But Lotusland isn't the area's only highlight. Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Mission Santa Barbara, and Presidio Santa Barbara are some other worthwhile sights close by.
