Flora Grubb Garden is located in the far reaches of San Francisco, off the 3^rd Street corridor in the Bay View district and is created by Flora Grubb, a young woman with an affinity for gardens, who set out to create this new ‘rustic urban’ ambiance. Reminds me of a trendy spot in Amsterdam, nested in what the Jordaan neghborhood has become.

At Flora Grubb Gardens you find colorful chairs and tables stored in Shakers tradition hang on the wall, suggesting the elements of a David Hockney painting. Flowers, palm trees, Japanese maples, shrubs, grass thrive and in the most beautiful pots. But here plants do not live just in artisan pots; you will be wonderfully surprised when you stumble on an old Edsel car overgrown with succulents and grasses.  And then a hanging bicycle giving a home to air plants.

Among my favorite things are the vertical succulent gardens, a living art gallery, where the art does not smell like oil and acrylic paints but has the sweet natural smell of the plants.

To make life even more perfect you want to sit down with a cup of espresso topped with a heart or leaf design and enjoy this perfection of the garden. The local coffee-roasting company Ritual has a café right there in the garden.
