About San Francisco Botanical Garden
The San Francisco Botanical Garden, also called Strybing Arboretum, sits inside Golden Gate Park. Its 55 acres of landscaped grounds and open spaces hold a very large plant collection drawn from many regions. Visitors often note its focus on magnolias, high-elevation palms, conifers, and cloud forest species from Central and South America and Southeast Asia. The garden is one of three gardens run by the Gardens of Golden Gate Park organization, alongside the Conservatory of Flowers and the Japanese Tea Garden. Each winter it hosts the Lightscape light trail, a separately ticketed evening event.
