"About 60 cherry trees are flowering in rolling waves of pink and white, and SF residents can walk through the whole thing for free. The Yoshino cherries go first, with pale, almost-white blossoms that turn the canopy into something out of a Miyazaki film."
"Timed entry tickets are required for cherry blossom season. Tickets are free for San Francisco residents, veterans, Museums for All participants, and Gardens members. Everyone else can pick up a Gardens Pass, which lets you arrive anytime and includes three days of access to the Conservatory of Flowers and Botanical Garden."
"Each reservation gives you a 60-minute arrival window. Once inside, you can stay until closing. No reentry, so plan accordingly. Tip: Early mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays are the quietest windows."
