I'm visiting San Francisco in early Feb. for 4 days and curious to hear what I must visit with limited time? I've already started to develop a list, but don't want to forget something. Thanks in advance!

Permalink Reply by Albert C on January 3, 2012 at 1:42pm A quick list having worked in the City for the last 14 years:
Mint Plaza, neat little urban plaza done by CMG Landscape Archtecture
Yerba Buena Gardens, nice open space in SOMA area
Crissy Field, Presidio, location, location, location
Drew School Assembly Wing, something completely different a vertical garden done with Patrick Blanc using like over 100 native plants. A real technical achievement, hydroponics,fertigation and gravity driven irrigation to name just a few of the systems making this thing work. On Broderick at California.

Hey Brett,
Don't forget to get across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods and up the coast a bit to Point Reyes. http://www.nps.gov/muwo/index.htm

De Young Museum, for sure should be on your list. Also, Andy Goldsworthy's installation at the Presido, "Spire" and the surrounding park is a treat to see.

Permalink Reply by Trace One on January 25, 2012 at 6:24am don't forget the great book - Stairway Walks" in SF, I think the author is Balalinsky or something weird like that - but Stairway gardens, and it's set up so you can do a great tour - reallly fun, some are famous..
