| I'll be visiting San Rafael, CA this Saturday. Are there any nice public gardens, nurseries, etc. to visit close by or in Marin county? I'm from the San Francisco peninsula so I don't need other bay area recommendations. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! |

| I was going to recommend http://www.vintagegardens.com/ I've been there before an bought roses. I see they are shutting down. It might be an opportunity. You could always contact them first. |

| You could go to the Marin Art and Garden Center, which is in Ross, which is about 10 minutes away. Their web site is at: "www.magc.org". It is on land that used to be a huge old estate. The main house burned down, but there are still a lot of heritage trees, & landscaped paths, etc. as well as a museum. The Marin Rose Society has a rose garden there which is very nice, although I do not know if anything is blooming in Jan. There is also a great antique shop, if you like that sort of thing. Jackie |

| The Vintage retail nursery shut down years ago. The private garden isn't really open. Especially this time of year. The Berkeley Botanic Garden would be a good idea. |
