Australian GardenThe botanist aboard the Endeavor, Sir Joseph Banks, is credited with introducing many plants from Australia to the western world, and many plants today bear his name.
Native to eastern Australia, Grass Trees may grow only 3 feet in 100 years, and mature plants can be centuries old.

Children’s Play AreaABOUT THE GARDENS
This 5.4 acre park has a layered soil system that balances seismic shifting, collects and filters storm-water, and irrigates the gardens. Additionally, the soil build-up and dense planting help offset the urban heat island effect by lowering the air temperature.
The gardens showcase the wide variety of plants that grow in California's Mediterranean climate as well as the diversity of plants from several of the world's other Mediterranean climate zones. Each of those areas, from Mediterranean Europe to western Australia, is featured in its own location in the park.
The park's different gardens allow visitors to also appreciate the climatic conditions and environments from drought to fog, desert to forest that exist in California.
The park and all plantings were designed by PWP Landscape Architecture (Peter Walker & Partners).

Mediterranean BasinThe climate of San Francisco is itself classified as 'Mediterranean' in reference to our dry summer and cool, rainy winters, a weather pattern we share with much of the Mediterranean Basin.
Cork Oak, harvested from living trees, is used for wine bottle stoppers.
Oak woodlands have higher levels of biodiversity than virtually any other terrestrial ecosystem in California, providing habitat for nearly half of the terrestrial vertebrate species found in the state.

RedwoodForestThe California State tree includes two members of the Sequoia family: the Coast Redwood, which is the tallest tree in the world reaching 400 feet tall, and the Giant Sequoia, whose 30-foot diameter trunk makes it the most massive tree species.
In redwood forests, 80% of the plant species have the ability to absorb water vapor directly through their leaves.
The fog irrigates plants when it condenses on tree surfaces and drips onto the ground. During summer drought, fog condensation provides around two-thirds of the water needed by understory plants.

PalmGardenOnly one species of palm, the California Fan Palm, is native to the state, although the Guadalupe Palm, native to Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja California, also lies within the California Floristic Province and is considered by some to be a native Californian.
The Wine Palm's sap can be used to make a fermented beverage, but the palm must be felled in order to do so. Overharvesting of this palm for its sap and development pressures have left it vulnerable in its native South American habitat.

CaliforniaGardenCalifornia's plant species are some of the oldest in the world, with lower extinction rates than those of many other regions. Forty percent of the state's 5,550 native species are endemic, naturally occurring only in California.
Native North Americans used Manzanita berries for food and the plant's leaves to treat poison oak rash and as toothbrushes.
The Marina Strawberry Tree hybrid, sold throughout California, originated in San Francisco in the early 20th century and is a commonly planted street tree.

DesertGardenThis garden features desert plants from around the world. Many species here are native to the Americas and Africa.
In Mexico, the Aztecs used Agave in a myriad of ways, from weaving clothes and paper from the strong fibers in the leaves to eating the cooked roots and flowers.
The Dragon Blood Tree from the Canary Islands gets its name from the red resin extracted from its bark and leaves.

FogGardenConvection fog, also known as tule fog, settles low to the ground during winter months, which produces misting precipitation and reduces visibility.
In the summer, advection fog is produced when warm air rolls over the Marin hills to the north and hits the cool temperatures coming off the Pacific Ocean. This creates damp conditions, reduced light, cooler temperatures and strong winds.

South AfricanGardenA biodiversity hotspot, the Cape Floral Region in South Africa is home to the greatest non-tropical concentra-tion of higher plant species in the world. Although it represents less than 0.5% of the area of Africa, the region contains nearly 20% of the continent's flora.
So many South African plants grow in San Francisco and throughout California that they are ubiquitous in the landscape and considered by many to be native.
