Casa del Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego
One great thing about San Diego is that there are many free spaces and activities. I went to an event at the Timken Museum (always free). On the way, I stopped by Casa del Prado, which has a space for community organizations to meet. I've seen orchid shows, bonsai shows and more. These shows are often free. I recently saw the show of the San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society . There were some fascinating specimens and there were friendly volunteers to answer questions. Look at these little fellows: Surreal! Succulents and cacti aren't everyone's cup of tea. I love them! Some of them look like they are from Cthulu's home planet. Casa del Prado is in the heart of Balboa Park, near the Botanical Building.
