Three years ago, reporting on a meeting I attended, I mentioned the Hidden Garden Steps project. The other day, a friend told me it was done, and of course I wanted to see it. So off we went.
It starts at Lawton and 16th, next to a painted bench, and connects to Kirkham. Here’s the first flight up, with a snail…
Goes up to a golden California poppy …
…(and notice that many of the flowers have names of donors on them?)
More flowers, a dragon fly, and ferns…
And lots more names!
If you want to see each flight of steps in more detail – and even read the names on them – there’s a website with photographs HERE.
And there are views – including one of my favorites, the beautiful Sutro Forest.
FOREST KNOLLS NEIGHBORHOOD 
Thanks a million for the wonderful write-up and photographs; hope you’re continuing to enjoy the Steps and members of the ever-growing community of supporters who are helping to maintain the site. Updates will continue to appear on the project website at http://hiddengardensteps.org and on the Friends of the Hidden Garden Steps blog (http://hiddengardensteps.wordpress.com).
Thanks for undertaking this project, Paul!
