On Friday, I went with friends to the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. "But wait!" you say. "She is a vegetable gardener, not a flower gardener! Whatever will she do in a flower garden?"
I was in luck. The current exhibit is called "Edible Expeditions" and it featured beautiful, edible plants from around the world. While I haven't eaten all of these (monster fruit? dragon eyes?) it was fascinating to see them and learn about them from the knowledgeable docents.
The Conservatory opened in 1879 and is the oldest existing public conservatory in the Western Hemisphere. The interior is beautiful and even the floor is elegant.
Isn't that beautiful? I'd be happy if the "floor" of my garden was free of weeds. Now I have something to aspire to!
