This Friday! National Public Gardens Day

This Friday, May 10th, is National Public Gardens Day. To celebrate the event, Better Homes and Gardens magazine is offering readers a free admission coupon for two to visit participating public gardens, arboretums, and green spaces on this day. Head on over to the Better Homes and Gardens National Public Gardens Day page… www.bhg.com/gardening/arboretums/celebrate-national-public-gardens-day/ … to find a participating garden near you and to download your voucher for free admission.

In honor of our local public gardens, this week I’ll be sharing images taken from participating public gardens of the San Francisco East Bay. Here are a few shots I took yesterday from the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley.

Gorgeous! Cactus Flowers | Nature Mom

May 7, 2013 at 8:01 am

[…] The cacti in the the New World Desert Collection of the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley are in stunning bloom. How have I missed this in past years? The flowers are gorgeous! All these photos were taken during my visit on Sunday, May 5th, 2013. If you live in the San Francisco area, I recommend heading to the gardens to see these! And, remember, this Friday, May 10th, is National Public Gardens Day. For more information, see my post… This Friday! National Public Gardens Day. […]

I’m so glad you posted about this. I’d heard about it and have plans to visit one that’s new to me, but I didn’t previously know you needed to take a voucher for the free admission. I hope many people take advantage of the opportunity. Thank you for the link!
