Balboa Park features succulent plants from around the globe. Some are strikingly beautiful in their symmetry while others are alien looking, as if from another planet. Each has found hundreds of similar and unique ways to thrive in arid environments where most life forms are unable to survive. This tour will examine the clever adaptations and beauty of the many fascinating forms. Forever Balboa Park offers thematic park tours that focus on the park’s unique biodiversity and highlight the park’s horticultural wonders on the first 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 90 minutes 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.
