Gardens of Golden Gate Park

We are so grateful to our generous sponsors, Gala committee, board, and staff who helped make this happen. 🌸

Huge thanks to our honorees Ruth and Ken Wilcox for their inspiring remarks and to our special guest speaker author Margaret Renkl who reminded us that planting a garden, no matter how small, provides joy and resilience in uncertain times.

Last weekend's Gala for the Gardens was our most impactful yet! Together we raised more than $675,000 to support our Gardens, educations programs, and conservation efforts.

These posters are now on display and 🌷 available for purchase 🌷 at Helen Crocker Russell Library in San Francisco Botanical Garden. Check out the exhibit before it closes on May 30. Open Friday–Sunday, 10am-4pm.

Last chance to see Revealing Biodiversity: Poster Art by Ricardo Kriebel! 🌸 Dr. Ricardo Kriebel, highlights the remarkable floral diversity of the Botanical Garden through iconic posters featuring photographs he has taken over the past four years.

💐🔍The blooms begin as vibrant pink dewdrop-shaped pendants. The pink bracts begin to curl upwards as the plant grows, revealing dozens of tiny pink and purple flowers within! Can you spot them? Plan your visit soon at gggp.org, there's so much in bloom!

There's a showstopping pink bloom happening now! See the magnificent "pink lantern" or Medinilla magnifica 🌸✨
