Things to do in San Francisco - Fuchsia Garden in Golden Gate Park #UrbanTrekUSATips #SanFrancisco

 This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA a private San Francisco walking and city tour  is about the Fuchsia Garden.

The Fuchsia Garden is not as popular as the Rose Garden, Dahlia Garden, Botanical Garden, etc. but it is worth the visit especially if you want to be in a place of solitude. 

The Fuchsia Garden is located near the entrance to Golden Gate Park at Stanyan and Hayes Streets. Taking the #21 Muni bus and disembarking at the Hayes & Stanyan bus stop <Stop ID 15009> is the easiest way to get there via public transportation. After you disembark, cross Stanyan Street to the entrance to the Golden Gate Park and you will soon see the sign showing the entrance to the Fuchsia Garden (shown in the video below). And if you follow the path heading west, you will end up near the Dahlia Garden & Conservatory of Flowers.

Things to do in San Francisco - Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park #UrbanTrekUSATips

This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA a SMALL GROUP San Francisco walking tour to provide the best IMMERSIVE San Francisco city tour EXPERIENCE. Why just simply visit when you can EXPERIENCE it.

To continue #UrbanTrekUSATips on things to do in Golden Gate Park, this post is about the Rose Garden. When the roses are in bloom, the Rose Garden is a beautiful place to visit as the photos show. Some (not all) of the roses even have wonderful fragrances.

Tip #1: The Redwood trees next to the Rose Garden is also worth checking out. If you walking in the middle of the place where the Redwood trees are, it feels like you away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city.

Tips #2: When taking a Muni bus (28, 5R or 5), disembark at the stop at Park Presidio & Fulton. The entrance to the Rose Garden is at the northeast corner.

My last post on about things to do in Golden Gate Park on Jan. 22, 2019 was for the Conservatory of Flowers. Right next to the Conservatory of Flowers is the Dahlia Garden (Dahlia Dell). The Dahlia is the flower of San Francisco. The Dahlias a beautiful flowers and have different varieties. According to the Golden Gate Park website, these flowers are in full bloom from from June to September. However, I took the photos and videos below between March and October so the Dahlias can be just a gorgeous during those months.

Continuing #UrbanTrekUSATips on good things to do in San Francisco Golden Gate Park, this post recommends the Conservatory of Flowers. In my prior post on the Botanical Garden (here), I mentioned the Botanical Garden is huge. The Conservatory of Flowers is a smaller area to enjoy seeing beautiful and exotic flowers. Therefore, if you have less time and are a fan of beautiful flowers, the Conservatory of Flowers is the place to visit.
