A 60-minute tour of the 10.5-acre garden followed by optional lunch in upper Kensington.

Known for its outstanding collection of plants assembled by the Blake family between 1922 and 1962 and since augmented by the University, the Garden also features stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. The tour will be led by Museum Scientist and Horticulturist Timothy Cole. Free on-site parking lot.
After the tour, meet up for no-host lunch at Inn Kensington Restaurant, 293 Arlington Avenue in Kensington.
