Join us next weekend for a meet-up with Karl The Fog and Nature Journalers at the SF Botanical Gardens!
Nestled in the heart of Golden Gate Park, the San Francisco Botanical Garden is a 55-acre living museum that boasts over 8,000 plant species from around the globe. Imagine stepping into this enchanting place, where you can slow down, observe more, and infuse your day with awe, calm, and wonder. We’ll explore these beautiful gardens, pausing to capture our observations, curiosity, and moments of joy in our journals. Whether it’s through words, pictures, or numbers, we’ll express our experiences and connect with the natural world around us.
