At Santa Barbara Beautiful, we believe that the aesthetics of a place matter. Since 1965, Santa Barbara Beautiful has funded the planting of over 13,000 city street trees, provided grants to support local art and design projects, funded scholarships to students majoring in horticulture and architecture, and celebrated numerous individuals, organizations, and businesses that have demonstrated exceptional efforts to make Santa Barbara beautiful.

Share the stories of individuals and organizations setting great examples, volunteer or support our grants program to improve the community today and inspire the next generation to care for Santa Barbara’s future.
