Spring at the SF Botanical Garden
The San Francisco Botanical Garden is bursting with new growth after a rainy winter. Covering about 55 acres (22 hectares) of Golden Gate Park, the garden is always full of life. During a recent visit, there were lots of spring blooms, and everything from tree ferns to giant redwoods were sporting new greenery.
Also known as Strybing Arboretum, the garden has separate climate zones for native Californian plants, Mediterranean climate plants, succulents, cloud forest plants, and other subtropicals. For local gardeners, the entire area is a perfect showroom for the vast range of choices in our mild climate. Near the main entrance at 9th Avenue and Lincoln Way, there’s a gift shop which sells some of these plants. The SF Botanical Garden is a great place to visit any time of year.
