Happy Wednesday to all! Here are some local links to get you going…

  • Spring plant sale happening at the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park this Saturday, 10am to 1pm. Look for alpine strawberries and unusual lettuces, beets and chards, root vegatables and more.
  • 7×7 captured this couple’s gorgeous wedding at the Legion of Honor. I particularly like the groomsmen between the columns.
  • Tired of Doyle Drive being closed? We’re already being told the new Presidio Parkway won’t be open until 2015. But the wait may be longer thanks to some financial challenges the project is facing.
  • Green Apple Books is expanding…sort of. They’ll be spreading out their inventory to cafes across the city so you can drink and eat, and pick up a good used book for just $5. Watch for these mini Green Apples at Bazaar Cafe here in the ‘hood (5927 California at 22nd Ave), and at other cafes in the city.
  • Need some zen? Check out the free yoga and meditation workshops this weekend. One is at the Richmond Library on Saturday afternoon at 2pm (351 9th Avenue). The other is at the Westside Art House (540 Balboa) on Sunday morning at 10am (flyer).
  • Ah, the luck of the Irish. It even extends to 50% off at the Blarney Stone (5625 Geary) thanks to Scoutmob. “The regulars’ favorite is the Egg and Cheese Sandwich – a roll heaped with two fried eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham.”
