WELCOME TO LOTUSLAND

You are invited to visit Lotusland , a unique 37-acre estate and botanic garden situated in the foothills of Montecito to the east of the city of Santa Barbara. Contact Visitor Services year-round to schedule a tour.

The gardens now covering the estate were created by Madame Ganna Walska, who owned the property from 1941 until her death in 1984. Before her death, Madame Walska established the nonprofit Ganna Walska Lotusland Foundation, which now preserves this unrivaled botanical treasure.
