Lotusland

Ralph Kinton Stevens purchased the land in 1882 and was the first to make a permanent imprint on the property. He and his wife, Caroline Lucy Tallant, named the property "Tanglewood." They established a lemon and palm nursery and eventually added other tropical plants to the collection and were among the early plantsmen of Santa Barbara.
