Get ready to stroll through some amazing gardens and soak up all the green vibes at the 2026 Portola Garden Tour!

Get Ready for the 2026 Portola Garden Tour!

Join us on the 20th anniversay of the annual tour of gardens in the Portola District of southeastern San Francisco.

This tour is a fundraiser for the Horticulture and Floristry department of San Francisco City College.

NOTICE: If you purchase a ticket after 10am on September 26th, you must pick up a printed map from 692 Hamilton St. We will be unable to email you a map.

What to expect:

If you purchase a ticket to the tour, you will receive access to gardens and garden related sites, most of them private. On the morning of the tour, you will receive an email with a link to a map identifying all sites on the tour and a little information about each. Or, if you choose, you will be able to pick up a printed map to guide your day.

Each garden is different. Postage-stamp sized gardens demonstrate excellent examples of what is possible in a small space. Others exhibit the power of terracing to capture views and growing areas. There are examples of native plantings, while others focus primarily on food production. Our tour includes shade-dappled groves, sunny patios, wind caressed hillsides and public green spaces brimming with inspiration. Each garden has something very special: the fingerprints of the gardener or gardeners who keep it.

In short, what to expect on the day of the tour? A whole lot of delightful garden surprises. Enjoy the day.

If you would like to learn more about the gardens and choose which you would like to visit before the day of the tour, explore this online brochure (http://portolagardentour.org/2024-gardens/).
