San Francisco Botanical Garden’s Free Day (2nd Tuesdays)

The San Francisco Botanical Garden is one of the most diverse gardens in the world. A unique urban oasis, the garden is a living museum within Golden Gate Park, offering 55 acres of both landscaped gardens and open spaces, and showcasing over 9,000 different kinds of plants from around the world.

One of the most beautiful spots is the Japanese-design inspired “Moon Viewing Garden,(pictured above) located in the Mild-Temperate Climate section in the Northwest portion of the gardens. [view map]
