This very large garden includes an adjacent public walkway (Globe Alley) that is also landscaped with native plants.

Greg Gaar converted this yard from lawn to a very colorful and attractive garden of San Francisco natives in just under a year and has now grown into a feast for the eyes.

In addition to the 15-step public stairway into the back garden, there is a more accessible walkway to the left with gradual stepping stones.

For more information on this ambitious undertaking, visit Greg at the HANC native plant nursery.
