Balboa Park Horticultural Tours: Off the Beaten Path Flora

*Note special Sunday date.* In the heart of the park, but tucked away from the main public thoroughfares, a rich variety of often-missed landscaped areas feature many beautiful plants. Some are small gardens, others are simply walkways between attractions, or even landscaping around parking lots. This surprising collection of unusual plants are not seen elsewhere in the park.

Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the second Saturday of each month. Led by park volunteer and horticultural enthusiast Bill Edwards, the free tours leave from the Visitors Center at 10 a.m. unless otherwise indicated. Walks last 1.5 to 2 hours and are typically less than 1 mile on level terrain. It is advised that potential attendees contact the Balboa Park Visitors Center prior to the scheduled walk to determine if there are any last-minute changes or cancellations to the tours.
