It’s a beaut, San Diego, it’s a beaut. This holiday season we’re unwrapping a few presents you won’t find under a tree or in a store. From artworks to monetary donations and historical artifacts, check out these gifts given and notable gift givers through the years.
Kate Sessions | The horticulturist made her impact throughout San Diego, helping bring thousands of trees and plants to the city. You can find her handiwork all over, including: Balboa Park, Mission Hills Nursery, and Kate Sessions Park.
Dr. Seuss | Theodore Seuss Geisel lived in La Jolla for more than 40 years, and oh, the places you’ll go when you see the beloved author’s footprint in and around SD. A giant collection of his work is displayed in the Geisel Library at UCSD. If you’d like to have some of his famous artwork hanging in your home, there are pieces for sale at the Legends Gallery in La Jolla.
Yokohama Friendship Bell | To help establish a relationship with San Diego, the residents of Yokohama, Japan gifted the large bronze bell in May 1958. This marked the beginning of an official bond of the two as sister cities. Yokohama is one of more than a dozen of San Diego’s sister cities.
These extraordinary gifts not only add character and value to our city but also show how generosity can have a lasting impact.
