Marin-Bolinas Botanical Gardens

The Marin-Bolinas Botanical Gardens (14 acres) are botanical gardens specializing in succulents, located in Bolinas, California, USA. They are open to the public on weekends.

The gardens were created by Dr. Herman Schwartz, a retired physician.[1] They now contain over 2,000 species; the children’s garden has 280 types of succulents. The gardens include six greenhouses, including ones dedicated to aloes and euphorbias. A Marin County native flower garden (6.5 acres) is currently being added.[2]
