ABOUT US

THE SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW

The San Francisco Flower & Garden Show has a rich 26-year history and has received many international accolades in that time.  The Show is one of the largest of its kind in the United States and is dedicated to demonstrating best practices in gardening as well as outdoor design and living.

In 2012, the Show Theme will be "Gardens for a Green Earth."  The display gardens will demonstrate best practices in conservation and green design.  There's something for everyone - gardens, green living, creative food practices, art and entertainment.

This Show would not be possible without the generous donations of time and money by many organizations.  Our success is directly tied to the efforts of countless volunteers and community enthusiasts who give the show its flair and personality, making it one of the best in the United States.

THE FLOWER SHOW STEERING COMMITTEE

The Show is guided by a steering committee of professional volunteers with a long history of participating in and supporting the show. These well-known landscape designers, gardeners and growers include Mike Boss of Rock & Rose Landscapes and Robin Stockwell of Succulent Gardens. Their thoughts and efforts are invaluable.

Kay Hamilton Estey - San Francisco Garden Show Marketing and Seminar Manager

After producing the last eight Shows, Kay has semi-retired. But rather than riding off into the sunset, she is staying on staff as the Seminar and Marketing/PR Manager.  Kay started in the business as a garden designer, and even designed and built a garden in the San Francisco Show in 2002. She has used her business background and knowledge of the green industry to work with landscape professionals, plant people, artists, students - in fact, anyone connected in any way with plants and beauty - to help create a gorgeous shows. Kay is a member of too many horticultural organizations to list, and has never met a plant she didn't like. She loves to read, draw, write, and travel. She gardens on a small plot of land behind her San Francisco home, trying to bring order to an unruly collection of plants, cats, raccoons, possums and squirrels.
