This is a continuation of a recent Telegraph Hill gardenwalk, this time down the east Greenwich stairway. Descending from the Coit Tower parking lot, the stairs are redbricked to Montgomery, pix 1 thru 9.
Near the foot of the upper Greenwich steps new plantings have been added: 10, 11.
178 steps for upper Greenwich down to Montgomery at Julius Castle: 12, 13.
Counting all the eastside Greenwich steps as one continuing stairway, got 388 total from the Coit Tower parking lot down to the foot at Sansome.
On the west side of the hill are more Filbert and Greenwich steps.
Now starting down lower Greenwich below Montgomery: 14 thru 21.
The lower Greenwich steps haven’t always been this garden-y. One of my favorite additions from several years ago was a short pathway off the main stairway with a deck and bench; a chair and table have been added since my last visit: 22, 23, 24.
From here you can continue on the short garden trail for a few yards and come back up to the main walk/stairway: pic 25.
Gardens above the walk as well: 26, 27, 28, 29.
Back on the main walkway, pic 30.
The beehives are still here: 31, 32.
The lower walkway and the rest of the stairs down to Sansome: 33 thru 39.
