Inspired by our sister site in Washington DC, here are a handful of San Francisco homes featuring lush gardens. While many a San Francisco home comes with a backyard boasting a patch of concrete and a few plants, these five homes have thoughtful little oases bursting with greenery, ideal for parties or for just kicking back after a hard day at work.
