An annual tradition at the Botanical Garden, the Summer Gardening Fair is a free, fun and friendly gathering of plant enthusiasts sharing ideas, plants and plant-related items.
Gardens thrive in the summer, even in San Francisco's fog! In fact, our unique climate means that in your San Francisco garden you can grow some incredible rarities like the almost extinct Deppea splendens, or other cloud forest plants from Chile or Central America. In our nursery we're propagating many plants that you won't find at big-box stores or commercial nurseries. The Plant Arbor will be well stocked with great selections from the Nursery.
Come to the Fair to learn more about plants and gardening from our volunteers and plant specialists, and representatives of local horticultural and conservation organizations. Join a local plant club, buy plants and plant products, or simply enjoy a day in the Garden.
