A Journey Through the San Diego Botanic Garden: A Tapestry of Nature’s Wonders

I loved the Quail Garden. It was so informal and kind of run down: all the focus was on the plants. And such plants! Some still haunt my memories. I'm from Alaska and I was able to go 3 times: 3 years in a row, and I'd spend all day. My favorite areas were the chaparral bridge, the Pinetum, and another area kind of hidden with marvelous trees and shrubs. It was wonderful to be in such a peaceful place with such marvelous plants. I've been to many gardens over my lifetime and most were far greater than Quail, but Quail was always my favorite.

It wouldn't be now. I understand that nowadays we have to turn gardens into playgrounds for young and old: for people who aren't interested in gardens and plants. I understand. I guess you gotta get them in somehow and hope they'll get the garden bug… but I suspect they don't. I suspect they just enjoy the entertainment. Oh well. Times and culture change.

Lovely! Thank you 💜💜💜🍒🍇🍊🍉

This is just one of my favorite places to visit with my husband it's so breath taking and peaceful as a gardener I can truly appreciate this beautiful place in which I can visit whenever I want.

Gorgeous! I missed an opportunity to visit as I didn’t know about it. I was in Sandiego this past summer.
