[San Francisco, CA] Hidden Garden Steps (16th Ave, between Kirkham & Lawton)

Why settle for one remarkable mosaic stairway when you can have two? In 2010, project Hidden Garden Steps began in the same fashion the first mosaic stairway, 16th Avenue, was created. The project team also consist of Aileen Barr and Colette Crutcher, the two ladies that started the first mosaic stairway along 16th Avenue and Moraga Ave. It is also a symbol for strengthening the community.

The difference between this ceramic mosaic stairway to the one along Moraga Ave is that each flight of stairs has a backstory to it, and there are nine different back stories. So there are nine flights of stairs, each with a different design. You can read about each story on the Hidden Garden Steps website.

Along each side of the stairs consist of different plants, as well as, trees. You will find this stairway is a lot more shaded than the 16th Avenue stairway. With the immense amount of trees hanging over the steps...Hidden Garden Steps is the perfect name for this masterpiece.

Happy Wandering, Alice.
