Yerba Buena Garden

 


The Yerba Buena Gardens are located in San Francisco, California.  Basically, it's two blocks of public parks in downtown San Francisco.  It provides over 100,000 square feet of green space for the residents.  There's grass, gardens, streams, and fountains, and even a 100 year old carousel (built in 1906) that children can enjoy.





   Children can also find a playground, a labyrinth made of hedges, and an area where they can alter the flow of the streams to create dams or irrigate the gardens.


The park is open daily from dawn to dusk.  The Carousel is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  The cost for two rides on the carousel is $3.00.


I'm going to begin posting the IWSG questions of the month here instead of on my Mama Diaries Blog. For those of you who don't know, I lost my son in a motorcycle accident on February 2nd. I've decided to leave my Mama Diaries blog as a tribute to him since there are many stories from his childhood there. 

The question of the month is if you could be someone else for a while, who would you be and why. Actually, even with all the pain and sadness I've been through, I wouldn't want to be anyone else. I'm perfectly happy as myself.   

Gardening Tip:  To get rid of fruit flies on houseplants, pour apple cider vinegar into a container, cover with plastic wrap, and poke holes in the top. The flies will go in and not come out.

  3. Hi, Sherry!

    I've added Gone Gardening to my blog list, dear friend, and it is a pleasure to join you here. San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens looks like a delightful spot for young and old alike. I love that The Gardens offer citizens 100,000 square feet of green space and that visitors encounter so many fun and creative things to do within that space.

    With regard to the question of the month, my answer matches yours. I can't think of anyone I would trade places with, even for a day. I view it as essential to be comfortable in your own skin, and it makes me happy knowing that applies to you as well.

    My thoughts continue to be with you, dear friend Sherry. Please remember that and take whatever comfort it provides as you make your way forward.
