For more than fifty years, the San Francisco Botanical Garden has stimulated children’s interest in and exploration of plants, horticulture and environmental stewardship. With new and expanded programming on the horizon, now is an exciting time for the most biodiverse 55 acres in the City.

Join us at Garden Feast to help support the Garden’s engaging nature programming for all ages.

2019 Keynote

Paul Hawken

​

Paul is the co-founder of Smith & Hawken and founder of Project Drawdown, which works to map, measure, and model the one hundred most substantive solutions that can cumulatively reverse global warming by reducing and sequestering greenhouse gases.

He has started ecological businesses, written extensively about nature and commerce, and consults with heads of state and CEOs on climatic, economic and ecological regeneration.

Paul lives in Mill Valley, California in the Cascade Creek watershed with his wife and coyotes, bobcats, red-tail hawks and flocks of nuthatches.

​

Paul's books will be available for purchase and he will be signing books after the event.
