A Grass Above the Rest

Imagine wandering through North America’s largest living collection of bamboo, with over 100 species swaying in the ocean breeze. It’s not just a walk in the park—it’s a journey through a whispering forest of towering grasses that can grow several feet in a single day!

Zen and the Art of Bamboo Appreciation

As you meander through this green paradise, take a moment to breathe deep and tune in to nature’s symphony. The gentle whisper of swaying culms dancing in the westerly ocean breezes is better than any meditation app.

And if that’s not enough to zen you out, feast your eyes on the one-of-a-kind bronze fountain nestled alongside the Bamboo Pond. This masterpiece, along with the pond itself, was dreamed up by none other than James Hubbell—a local sculpture artist and nature enthusiast extraordinaire.

Art Meets Nature

But the creativity doesn’t stop there. Local artisans have crafted stunning bamboo sculptures that’ll make you see this humble grass in a whole new light. From massive installations to delicate pieces, each artwork showcases bamboo’s incredible strength and flexibility.

Running now through October 21, “Bamboo: Beautiful Massive Grasses” is your ticket to discovering why this plant is a true grass-class act.

Your Urban Oasis Awaits

Here’s a fun fact for your next trivia night: the Bamboo Garden was the first themed garden planted in this 37-acre urban oasis. Now, it’s just one of 12 themed gardens you can explore.

See you there!

Ready to get your zen on? Head over to the San Diego Botanic Garden and lose yourself in the gentle rustle of bamboo leaves. It’s the perfect escape from the daily grind.

Tickets start at $18 for adults and $10 for kids (ages 3-17), with the little ones (2 and under) getting in free. It’s worth every penny to see nature’s skyscrapers up close and personal.
