Until now Quail Botanical Gardens has been one of the best kept secrets of San Diego. Located in picturesque Encinitas, this is a gorgeous botanical garden. It includes two children’s gardens and plenty of other beautiful gardens to explore. On our last visit, we had to park in overflow parking and discovered a breathtaking Monet lilypond complete with resident frogs. I will post more about my Quail Garden adventures at a later date, but I wanted to share this moment that my ten year old Justin captured, by sneaking a shot from the bushes at the edge of the pond. It was the highlight of our August visit.
Quail Gardens has changed its name to San Diego Botanic Garden, hopefully it’s new name will attract more visitors and donors to this San Diego treasure. You can learn more about the garden .
Happy Trails,
Bridget

Great frog shot! I have been wanting to hit up the Quail Gardens ever since I saw them on California’s Gold.
That is one big frog. Sounds like a great place, will check it out on our next socal visit.
Sounds like a great place. Cute frog! Wonder if he’s really a prince?
This is a wonderful photograph. The amazing greens, the frog popping up perfectly (and you can just see his webbed feet), and the ripples in front. Very cool – kudos to Justin.
That’s a great shot! Froggy looks like he’s really checking y’all out.
San Diego is on our list possible 2010 trips. I’ll have to remember to check out Quail Gardens!
My son would have love to be there in that moment, he loves frogs. Great picture!
Awesome frog shot.
I miss all the fabulous San Diego places to visit. I’m just gonna live vicariously through you for a while. K?!
What a great photo!!
