Have you visited the Tenderloin National Forest? and other garden gems.

Jane Austen once wrote, “‘To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure, is the most perfect refreshment.’” And never is that more true than now, when San Francisco is finally warming up, and escaping the city hustle and bustle to stroll through blooming flowers and winding vines seems like the perfect way to pass a weekend day. Supremely luckily for us, it’s not necessary to travel miles out of the city to get a taste of greenery. Here’s where you can slowly meander among nature for free, sometimes with a city view in tow.
