 Visit the quail Botanical Gardens in north-east San Diego county (off
 Hwy 15, Escondido area; consult a tourbook for exact directions) and
 Balboa Park just outside of downtown (off of Hwy 163) for
 water-gardens, a botanical garden, Japanese garden, rose garden (which
 may still be in bloom, you know) and tropical plants all over.
 The San Diego Zoo (a must-see anyway) has a tremendous collection of
 all kinds of plants in its exhibits.  The Wild Animal Park has many
 garden areas to choose from; see
 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/Zoo/collection.html#plants
 and
 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/Wild/gardens.html.
 I've heard San Marcos Growers is a good nursery, although I haven't
 been there myself.

 San Marcos Growers http://www.smgrowers.com is a wholesale nursery in Santa
 Barbara. It is located at the base of San Marcos Pass.  This historic pass
 though the Santa Ynez Mountains was used by Captain John Fremont to capture
 the presidio of Santa Barbara on Christmas 1846. - It would be a 4 hour trip
 from San Diego to Santa Barbara.
