The gardens include collections of plants suitable for the mild Mediterranean coastal climate and acidic soils, including: native woodland and bluff plants, heather and heather, rhododendrons, camellias, fuchsias, dahlias, magnolias, maples, succulents, begonias and conifers. The Heath and Heather collection is part of the National Plant Consortium. MCBG is also recognized as a conifer reference collection by the American Conifer Society. A historic corridor on the south side of the property includes the 19th-century Parrish family home, orchard and cemetery. In 2013, the demonstration "kitchen garden" developed there provided the local food bank with more than 4,000 pounds of fresh produce while testing heritage and newly developed varieties for local success and demonstrating best food garden practices for volunteers and visitors.

Admission is charged for entry into the gardens, with discounts for children and seniors, or by purchasing an annual membership. The main trails are accessible and electric carts are offered on a first come, first served basis for visitors with mobility issues. Access is subject to the purchase of special tickets to fundraising events at the gardens, including "Art in the Gardens" in August, "Festival of Lights" on December weekends, and a semi-annual "My Garden" event in May. The gardens are closed the Saturday after Labor Day for the annual WineSong event, which supports the local hospital.

Public classes and other events such as the annual Rhododendron Festival and Conifer Day are posted on the Gardens' website, gardenbythesea.org. Amenities include a gift shop, a nursery and Rhody's Garden Cafe
