While walking through her neighborhood in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood, photographer Kelsey McClellan (previously) is always surprised to discover the unusual foliage adorning her neighbor’s yards. Trees meticulously trimmed into vertical stacks of pom-poms, plants that swirl like ice cream cones, or branches that span garage doors like a giant green mustaches—all practically lifted from the pages of a Dr. Seuss book. “I was instantly drawn to all the topiaries in people’s front ‘lawns’ and started snapping them as I walked around the neighborhood,” she shares with Colossal.

The Springfield Museums at the Quadrangle / Dr. Seuss Garden: Reviews from families visiting The Springfield Museums at the Quadrangle / Dr. Seuss Garden. The kids have enjoyed going to this museum (ages 7,7,4) and the different exhibits they bring in. The planetary section always seems to catch their interest the most.
