We had the most wonderful day on Sunday at the Humboldt Botanical Garden! Cedric made it even more special by helping us identify different plant species. He was both extremely knowledgeable and charming. Please visit this special place and we hope you a lucky enough to meet Cedric! read more

Small floral area, but lovely with lots of trails to other types of plant life. A very nice place to spend an hour or two. read more

I have been coming to Eureka/Humboldt County for about 35 years, and I finally saw a sign for this space. So glad we came! It was moist day when we visited, and the mosquitoes were annoying, but that's part of the territory. It was a beautiful space to explore, and the walking pathways were also some good exercise for us old folks (around 50, ahem). But the beauty was nice, with plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the views when needed. We even bought some merch at the small little gateway "store" to support the cause. Will always come back here now, every visit to the area. Thank you! read more

A nice spot to come and enjoy some beauty in nature. Make sure to hike the trails but also be sure to utilize the bug spray at ticket counter. They were brutal. Went to the maze art install which was nice. read more

Absolutely beautiful gardens. The woman who worked the entrance was very welcoming and funny. I forgot her name. She had a little dog with her. Everyone that we encountered at the gardens were very friendly. The price was reasonable. When I go back to Eureka I will definitely go back. read more

Delightful visit! Exploring our new neighborhood my husband and I ventured to the Botanical Gardens. The entrance was a little hard to find but could just be because it's not obvious. There's a gravel parking lot with two big wrought iron gates at one end. That's the entrance. Kudos to the gardens for giving a discount for locals with ID. I'll very much be returning because it's a beautiful walk through the gardens and very peaceful. Lots of opportunities to practice amateur photography. There are newer gardens where flowers are kept trim and tight, and there are wooded areas and historical things to explore as well. It's dog friendly so long as your dog is well behaved and on a leash (and you clean up after it, of course)... so kudos for that! The only downside here (I guess it depends on the day) are the mosquitos. Luckily the front booth has bug spray (not sure if that is all the time, so bring your own just in case it's a warm day and the buggies are out). If you're in the area. Stop by, enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings. Plenty of areas to sit or meditate too. read more

I really like botanical gardens so this is my thing. It's $10 an adult to get in which I don't think is too bad. There are some steep elevation changes. Unfortunately working from home has taken a toll on my wife and about half through I wasn't sure she was going to make it back to the entrance without help. We didn't get past what I think was called the Moss Family garden. read more

An amazing treasure. both the cultivated gardens and the wild land trails filled us with "WOW!". Well worth a visit.

These beautiful botanical gardens located on the south end of the Humboldt bay, on Tompkins Hill Road, are another one of nature's gems that make living behind the Redwood Curtain the cool place that it is. A 48 acre blend of mother nature's world in the hands of gifted stewards of the earth. There are maintained pathways with signage that runs throughout the gardens and it's a relatively easy to moderate walk to reach most all of the spots within the property. Beautiful open space gardens with great ever changing flora in abundance at various times throughout the year as our area rarely ever freezes, you may be surprised what you find blooming and in season. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the kind folks who make the gardens the special place it is. 00606 read more

Spectacular gardens! The paths in the lower garden are very accessible and well maintained. The woodland paths are also well maintained and well marked, not accessible but makes for a great adventure with children. Dogs are allowed on leash for an additional fee! There are also plants available for purchase for the ultimate souvenir! read more

What a lovely place and equally lovely the couple of folks we met that work there on the 4th of July weekend. I am a fan of visiting gardens and I was very happy to see that Humboldt had a garden of its own. If you are into very manicured places not sure this will please you all that well but if you like nature more organic gardens then you'll leave happy. Be ready to do some walking and to get to some sections there will be some uphill but nothing overly vigorous -- maybe take some water with you. I will be back and interested to check out their classes and workshops. FYI Yelpers: If you search for the HBG, the first thing that comes up is their foundation which is located in Old Town. Make sure you get direction to 7707 Tompkins Hill Road, Eureka. read more

Very beautiful and a few nice trails that venture a little ways out. I would have given this 5 stars, except for one thing: There are more mosquitos on the trails here than anywhere I've been in my entire life, and it's not even close. They should warn you before going in and perhaps even sell repellant. Thank goodness we were wearing long pants and long sleeves or we would have been eaten alive. It's that bad! If you come prepared, you can have a great time! read more

I came here to kill some time before my tour of HSU and it was way better than expected. My family thought it would take at most 30 minutes to complete but you could easily spend hours there. Would highly recommend. read more

Humboldt Botanical Gardens have only been open for a year, and they have accomplished a great deal in a very short time. There are paths and signage, vista points, a greenhouse. This is a great opportunity to see the local flora, such as wild cucumber. They have an impressive 48 acres of space.bring a camera, there are some stunning blooms. read more

This is a wonderful garden and well worth the visit. If, like us, you are into visiting gardens where ever you go, this is one of the best to join as it offers the best value. Once you join, you can enter dozens of other gardens around the nation for free! The garden is gorgeous. There is a longer hike to the labyrinth, which I've done in the past and is beautiful, and is a bit more strenuous. Today I took the dog, so I stayed in the gardens as she's not up for the longer, steeper walk. The only thing I don't understand is they don't want dogs on the grass. Admittance for a dog is $5 (or $20/year), so if you're forking over money, you're more likely to be a responsible dog owner (ie, one who will scoop-a da poop-a). Please let the dogs on the grass!! The volunteers are helpful. The only negative in my mind is the bathrooms are portapotties. Blech. They do have a hand washing station, but flush toilets are just civilized. Still. They made an attempt with the butterfly garden, but honestly, it's not terribly impressive. If you're going solely for that, you may be disappointed. But the flowers and the garden itself is well worth the visit. read more

What a mistake to visit this place. We got eaten by the mosquitoes and had to run out there. we only saw a few butterflies. We basically paid $1 per butterfly. read more

This place is beautiful. However they are not ADA Accessible. It's gravel all around. You can't ride a scooter or it's hard to push a wheelchair. It's 2021. It's time for them to upgrade to be more accessible for ADA. read more

A must while visiting Humboldt Co!!!! And if you live local and have not visited-GO! It's an easy stroll. Kids LOVE it, and to see the work so many talented gardeners have put in is simply amazing. read more
