About the San Francisco Botanical Garden
San Francisco Botanical Garden (SFBG) is located within Golden Gate Park. The Garden is comprised of 55 acres of both landscaped gardens and open spaces with over 7,700 taxa.
The Bay Area's mild temperatures, wet winters and dry summers, coupled with San Francisco's coastal fog, provide a range of climatic conditions that exist in few other botanical gardens. These unique conditions provide an environment for many plant communities from around the world.
San Francisco Botanical Garden’s high conservation collections include magnolias, Andean, Mesoamerican and Southeast Asian Cloud Forests and high elevation palm species. Specialty gardens include the California Native Garden and Redwood Grove; Succulent Garden; Garden of Fragrance; Rhododendron Garden; Ancient Plant Garden; Moon Viewing Garden; Camellia Garden; Children’s Garden; and other gardens highlighting collections from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile and South America, the Mediterranean Region, and East Asia.
SFBG is operated as a partnership of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and the non-profit San Francisco Botanical Garden Society.
