May 4: Tilden Botanical Garden* 1550 Wildcat Canyon Rd, Berkeley
Wildcat Canyon Blvd is still under repair from storm damage. Enter Tilden left from Grizzly Peak Blvd at Shasta Rd and continue downhill past the stop sign. The Brazil Building is on your left, turn right into the parking lot and facilities just before the road goes uphill. Views include the hills with many different paths to explore.  We are asked not to sit on the walls or block the paths, but there are many places wide enough for easels and visitors. Bring your own chair!
