Ted Kipping's garden on Mount Davidson in San Francisco was designed by Harland Hand in 1985 on a double lot, 100 feet by 50 feet, surrounding a Victorian house. The garden's many microclimates accomodate a wide range of culturally demanding rare plants.
Borrowed views of Victorian buildings and unsual trees and a path into an adjacent city park add to the sense of being in another place and time, when this area of the city was farmland.
The garden may be visited by appointment: Contact Ted Kipping
