SAN FRANCISCO — It’s called the San Francisco Zoo and Gardens because of one of its longest-serving volunteers.
Visitors are learning a lot through two gardens Secchia founded. The 10-year-old Conservation Corner showcases environmentally-friendly features like solar power and organic vegetable growing.“Even if you have a space this big, you can grow lettuces, kale, swiss chard, all those things, and it keeps coming back and you get it fresh from your garden, your stuff,” she said.
“This garden gives a lot: sense, smells, touch, feel it. Hear the water. You can see the birds taking a bath,” Secchia said.San Francisco Zoo and Gardens Director Tanya Peterson says Secchia has also taken the lead in advocating for natural habitats for the animals. Secchia worked as a horticulturist at the zoo for ten years. Today, Secchia oversees ten volunteers who care for the gardens.
