San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum

Nature wonderland 9th Avenue at Lincoln Way
San Francisco, CA 94122
United States
+1 415 661 1316
http://www.sfbotanicalgarden.org/ This is a living museum in Golden Gate Park that is home to a wide array of rare and exotic plant life from around the world. Visit the 70-acre garden and explore seemingly endless trails past duck ponds, an arbor, herbs, flowers, blooming trees and redwoods, and smaller, specialized gardens with names like the Garden of Fragrance. Also on hand is an education center that provides different gardening, horticulture, botany, and environmental classes for adults and children, plus a horticulture library and bookstore. The public is allowed to stroll through the garden anytime, although they are asked to keep on the paths.
