Ganna Walska Lotusland

Nestled in the heart of Montecito, California, Ganna Walska Lotusland is a botanic garden that has repeatedly been recognized as one of the world’s top gardens. It was ranked in the 10 best gardens in the world by the London Telegraph and has been featured in Vogue, the Los Angeles Times, Architectural Digest, Condé Nast, C Magazine, California Homes, 805 Living, Montecito Journal, Santa Barbara Magazine and others. Beginning as a commercial nursery in the 1880s, the property was purchased by well-known Polish opera singer and socialite, Ganna Walska. The spectacular collections of more than 3,000 exotic plants, organized into 20 distinct gardens through the 37-acre property, are a very personal expression of Madame Ganna Walska’s penchant for the dramatic, the unexpected and the whimsical.
