My friend Jessica and I walked to the park at around 1:30 in the afternoon on Monday. It was really cold but there were still a lot of people outside and at the garden. We focused on California native plants, and when we got there we were a bit disappointed. Most of the plants were deciduous, dead and did not have flowers. Compared to temperate Asia and Africa, the California native plants were not as eye pleasing. However, we still saw some really beautiful native plants.
