Arboretum Trip
California Coast Excursions Part II – The Gardens & Arboreta of the San Francisco Bay Area
 |
 |
 |
With the greater Los Angeles area behind us, we are now planning to visit the second of three jewels in the Golden State crown. The Bay Area is a noted treasure trove of horticultural hangouts, all nurtured by a distinctly Mediterranean climate, which changes rapidly with every inland mile eastward. You'll be amazed by the grand urban escapes in the heart of San Francisco, the idyllic coastal setting for botanic gardens and arboreta, and the blending of the wine country and gardens in the Napa and Sonoma regions just north of the Bay.
Dates: March 9-15,
2003
Approximate Cost: $1,600.00 per person, double occupancy
