Ever wondered how to turn San Francisco’s cool, foggy climate into a plant lover’s paradise? 🌿

Join us on Thursday, October 15 at 7:00 PM at the County Fair Building in San Francisco to hear 30-year Richmond District resident Kyle Pierce share his secrets to “Cultivating cool-growing bromeliads and their allies in San Francisco.”

Faced with a shade-heavy yard blocked by a four-story building, Kyle transformed his unique microclimate into a thriving micro-cloud forest packed with bromeliads, orchids, ferns, and Ericaceae.

Come learn how to work with San Francisco’s coastal climate to build your own horticultural paradise!

Don’t miss it—see you there! 🌺✨
