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 accommodate a wide range of culturally demanding
rare plants.
Borrowed views of Victorian buildings
and unusual 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.

garden may be visited by appointment:
