Balboa Park’s Botanical BuildingCity Council yesterday voted to begin charging a $2 fee for enjoying the plants in Balboa Park’s Botanical Building. This 90-year-old lath house was the dream of San Diego Floral Association founding president, Alfred D. Robinson.

Botanical Building, Balboa Park, San DiegoThe move was made in hopes of
collecting an additional $210K to help with the city’s budget in balance.
The council rejected the idea to charge
non-San Diegans for use of city-owned
parking lots at the beaches and bays.
Annual lost revenue: $1.15 million
