Garden Exposition was a great success this past weekend. After many years at Fort Mason, the event returned to its old home in Golden Gate Park&#8217;s Hall of Flowers. Even as visitors managed tougher parking and big crowds, it was still obvious that the flowers were just as magical as previous expos. Enjoy this small sample of our photos from the big event, and check back soon for more pictures.<\/p>\n<p><a
