Blue Raster x YBGC: An Interactive Map of the Gardens

One of our fabulous 2026 interns, Olivia, completed an interactive map project that’s making the news!

Visitors exploring Yerba Buena Gardens in downtown San Francisco can now discover more than just its beautiful landscapes. A new interactive public map brings the Garden’s trees, garden beds, public art, and amenities together in one accessible online experience, no app required. Working alongside horticultural intern Olivia Jensen, Blue Raster developed the map using Esri’s ArcGIS platform, turning an ambitious idea into a public-facing resource in just three and a half months.
