San Francisco's Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places to escape to in this city. Show your local ID card and you can wander through acres of amazing plants, flowers, and trees from around the world for free. The Redwood Grove is an especially magical place — our own Avenue of the Giants right here in SF. And this Saturday the gardens are hosting a happy hour acoustic show with a great, energetic local rock act, The Sam Chase.
From 4-6 p.m., the band will play in the shady grove, and you're encouraged to bring picnics (you can purchase drinks from the cash bar) and plenty of layers, as we know the park can get kinda cool in the shady parts. The show is $10 for members/$15 for everyone else.
I really hope this gig is one of many in that special nook of Golden Gate Park.
