Take a stroll with me through a Meditation garden in Encinitas, CA overlooking the pacific ocean at Swami’s Beach. Owned and maintained by the Self Realization Fellowship the garden is open every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except on Mondays and is located at 215 K street. 92024. The entrance walkway is landscaped with a beautiful Strawberry Tree overhanging the stairway leading to the top bluffs. Once at the top of the stairs there are several koi ponds and benches in private little alcoves where a peaceful moment of solitude can easily be found. The top bluff is a mixture of palm trees, bird of paradise, cactus, succulents, pine trees, native and exotic flowers, etc. This is a beautifully maintained garden full of botanical interest at every step… a must see!
