This Saturday, the Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park will host their 15th annual Summer Gardening Fair.
The fair offers visitors a chance to learn about gardening from horticulture experts, as well as purchase special plants, growing materials, books and more.
“The Summer Gardening Fair is an annual tradition at the Botanical Garden,” said Kitty Fisher, education coordinator of San Francisco Botanical Garden Society. “We always have a great turnout of people looking to join a local plant club, buy plants and plant products, and enjoy a day in the Garden.”
Unlike some big box store nurseries, the Botanical Garden features a wide variety of plant species that thrive in the city’s unique climate. The Gardening Fair is a great chance to explore the plants and get advice from experts, and even purchase some for your own home garden.
The fair will feature Botanical Garden volunteers, plant specialists, and representatives from local horticultural and conservation organizations ready to share their expertise. Local gardening clubs accepting new members will also be available.
The Summer Gardening Fair runs on Saturday from 10am until 3pm, and admission is free.
