From March 12-16th, check out the San Francisco Garden Show at the Cow Palace!

With thousands of blossoms and gardens to go ga-ga over, both amateur gardeners and seasoned pros alike will have a fantastic time at this year’s show. Spanning three acres, the highlights of the show include a garden container display, Sproutopia (for the kids!), the newest plants, presentations from the Bonsai Club, wine bars, and a health pavilion.

You can also use this opportunity to not only tour some beautiful gardens, but you can learn about the craft from the best of the best. The garden show offers seminars covering tons of topics, ranging from adding art and accessories to your garden to hands-on interactive activities for the kids.

After the show, you can always pick up a Go San Francisco card and tour the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, The San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum,or the University of California Botanical Garden.
