I love sharing the story of my five-generation 'secret garden' atop San Francisco's historic Russian Hill.
After her visit, Rosmary Verey asked me to write the first chapter in her book 'Secret Gardens'. Frank Cabot called the garden 'luminous'!

Our group, The St. Francis Wood Garden Club, had the privilege of being invited to the most delightful home of Beatrice Bowles. Beatrice is as charming as she is entertaining, and we heard wonderful stories about her family history, long time home, and amazing gardens. We had a change to spend time touring the home as well as time wandering the fanciful gardens of her hillside garden. Every member commented that it was the best outing and speaker that we have ever had, and I can't agree more. - Jane R. Poppelreiter, Program Director, St. Francis Wood Garden Club
