Did you know that Kate Sessions is considered the "Mother of Balboa Park"?
This forward-thinking woman pioneered much of the vegetation now seen in the Park and surrounding areas....travelling around the world to find plants and trees that would thrive in San Diego's arid climate.
Kate Sessions love of the Park began in 1892 when she leased land for a nursery and agreed to plant 100 trees a year in the Park in exchange.
A statue was erected in her honor in 1998.
