On Saturday March 20th bring the whole family out to celebrate the first day of spring on a treasure hunt through the most botanically diverse place in the city: the San Francisco Botanical Garden. There are about 8,000 types of plants growing in this extraordinary garden, more than many entire states! After a long wet winter the garden is a kaleidoscope of colors… The URBIA team will be on hand to greet explorers and distribute booklets for our third seasonal adventure. We will send you off to experience plants from regions of the world while seeking a California land where oak trees spread overhead. Have fun learning about botany with an escorting bumble bee. On the way, hidden waterfalls, a banana tree, jungle-like pathways, a San Francisco rainforest, and a secret grotto will challenge your team’s way-finding skills.

Where and when?

Look for the URBIA Team and pick up an adventure booklet & sleuthing pencil at the URBIA table between 10 a.m. & 2 p.m. near the Garden Bookstore located near the Main Gate of the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park (close to 9th Avenue and Lincoln.)

Hope to see you there!
