Strybing Arboretum and Botanical Gardens was established in 1940 using money from a fund bequeathed to Golden Gate Park by Helene Strybing 14 years earlier following her death. With over 7500 kinds of plants on over 70 acres, the arboretum is a botanical treasure waiting to be discovered by curious visitors. For more information, call 415-661-1316. |

| A large grassy meadow located a little beyond the main entrance to Strybing Arboretum, is an enticing destination for families looking to picnic or have a brief rest before continuing on their garden walks. Free daily tours are offered by the Strybing Arboretum Society. |
Among the many sections in the arboretum, visitors will find several Japanese style gardens and reflecting ponds. Nearby benches and walking paths will further the exploring experience. |
