I have such a crush on this place, I absolutely adore it. I’m taking all my Bay area friends there now.
Gardens
Orchid Mania at DBG – Spring 2025
I can’t grow orchids, just doesn’t work. But wow, these were amazing to look at and dream about growing.
Ruth Bancroft Garden – Walnut Creek – April 2025
Huge gallery, may take a bit to load. I’ve heard about this garden, and I even own the book about it – The Bold Dry Garden – but I hadn’t ever been to visit.
Gardens by the Bay – Singapore – April 2025
Yah, I realize it’s one of the most touristy things to do in Singapore, but it’s so Crazy Rich Asians movie style up there, you just gotta go. Lots of images, maybe loads slowly.
CACSS Show & Sale at Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix
Every year the CACSS holds a show and sale to benefit the society. It’s usually at DBG, which is one of my happy places.
Desert Botanical Garden – Feb 2025
More DBG. I really can’t get enough of the place.
LightBloom by HYBYCOZO – DBG – Nov/Dec 2024
Combination of two different dumps from the Lightbloom exhibit at Desert Botanical Garden. Artist(s) are HYBYCOZO, and it’s some really cool engineering as well as art!
