Grace Marchant Garden, Public garden on Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, United States.
Grace Marchant Garden is a public garden on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco that runs along the Filbert Steps. It features pink roses, purple delphiniums, yellow banana plants, and red Japanese maples growing throughout the space.
Grace Marchant began creating this space in 1949 by transforming an abandoned dump site into a garden. Over the next 30 years, she built what is now a green corridor stretching from Napier Lane.
The garden shows how neighbors work together to care for a shared outdoor space in the city. You can see the results of their efforts in how well maintained and green everything looks along the steps.
You reach the garden by walking up the Filbert Steps, which connect different levels of planted areas. The steps themselves offer good views of the city while you move through the garden.
A flock of wild parrots regularly visits the garden, announcing their presence with loud calls. These birds move freely among the plants, adding an unexpected layer of wildlife to this urban green space.
