Sola shares: “I create space for inclusivity by inviting those left out of the wellness industry to tap into their healing through yoga. I offer multiple variations, subtle body work, and breathwork to make the practice more accessible.

Happy Pride!! 🌻🌸🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️🌹 In celebration of Pride month we're honored to highlight Sola, an incredible queer and trans yoga instructor who is creating inclusive spaces in the Bay Area. Join Sola for their next yoga class at the Conservatory on Sunday, July 12. 🧘‍♀️

Eric Walther, the 1st Botanical Garden Director who planted the magnolias, and Helene Strybing, whose bequest helped establish an arboretum and botanical garden in Golden Gate Park. We can also witness the beauty of the full life cycle through Scarlet, our corpse flower.

Several beloved San Francisco figures are laid to rest at Cypress Lawn whose contributions continue to be experienced by visitors at Gardens of Golden Gate Park today. Among them are John McLaren, often called the grandfather of Golden Gate Park.

We're excited to share that Cypress Lawn is our 2026 corpse flower sponsor! Cypress Lawn has been a meaningful place of trees since its inception as the hallmark garden cemetery of the San Francisco peninsula.

We’ll announce the bloom here and across communication channels as soon as possible – stay tuned and watch the live stream at gggp.org

⏰ Let the countdown begin—the bloom is imminent for Scarlet the Corpse Flower (Amorphophallus titanum) at the Conservatory of Flowers. We see blush on the spathe and expect bloom to occur this week.

As corpse flowers get closer to blooming, these ruffles begin to blush revealing hints of scarlet red. 🤭 Stay tuned and visit Scarlet at the Conservatory at gggp.org

June 17, 2026 Update 💚 Scarlet is getting taller every day! We're patiently waiting for the bloom to happen. If you look closely, you'll notice the cabbage like ruffles called the spathe are still green.
