Bodacious Botany
Gardens, parks, orchards, flower fields, and the wild green spaces hiding in plain sight.
We explore the gardens, food, parks, and wonderfully unexpected corners that make Northern California feel like home.
one Saturday a month✦infinitely bodacious✦bring your good shoes
We are a curious crew of adults who believe a good Saturday can hold a garden walk, a beautiful view, a great meal, and at least one delightful surprise.
From nature preserves and botanical gems to small-town food stops and weekend getaways, BAYBS makes room for friendship, wonder, and the kind of moments that become stories.
No expertise required. Curiosity is plenty.
Gardens, parks, orchards, flower fields, and the wild green spaces hiding in plain sight.
Local favorites, seasonal fairs, picnics, bakeries, and foods worth planning a drive around.
Coastlines, viewpoints, road trips, and tandem outings with fellow outdoor-loving friends.
