Welcome to Sea Gull Gardens

We have created naturally beautiful gardens for you to enjoy while visiting Sea Gull Inn and Mendocino, California.

There is a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to read, to talk with a loved one, to simply sit and think.

Here are some of our favorite garden quotes:

Romance thrives in beautiful quiet settings like the garden, where there is time to enjoy one another away from everday distractions.

Talking quietly, breathing in the beautiful fragrance of the earth, the excitement of being near one another mingles with the comfort of feeling safe and cherished.

- Emilie Barnes

I hold that the best purpose of a garden is to give delight and to give refreshment of mind, to soothe, to refine and lift up the heart.

-Gertrude Jekyll, 1908

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth and no culture comparable to that of the garden. I am still devoted to the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener.

-Thomas Jefferson

A garden, indeed is the purest of all human pleasures. It is the greatest refreshment to the spirit of man.

-Sir Francis Bacon, 1620
