Isn the fee taking the Botanical Garden a step closer to privatization?
The SFBGS has enjoyed a 55-year partnership with the City maintaining, promoting, preserving and enhancing the Garden and nothing in the budget package changes that relationship. The Botanical Garden Society has historically contributed financial, programmatic, managerial, staff time, and expertise to the San Francisco Botanical Garden. The public/non-profit partnership has been successful and nothing changes it with this proposal.
