"The Garden is open dawn to dusk 365 days a year, so come by and see our space anytime! Almost every week there is a workshop offered. Programs are listed on our website - it’s a great resource for those interested in learning more about gardening!" 7/8

"We really lucked out to be located in this natural neighborhood, at the foothill of Twin Peaks, while also at an urban corridor that connects Marin to the San Mateo Mountains... in between we have birds, creatures, insects and animals that live in the wild" 6/8

"GFE has been on the corner of Lawton St & 7th Ave since the beginning, it’s a huge part of who we are. The neighbors really utilize the space. We know @UCSF doctors that regularly use the space on their lunch breaks, preschool groups that visit for outdoor times" 5/8

"We officially became a fiscally sponsored group of @SFParksAlliance in 2013, but we have actually shared office space since 2009. We realized we needed help with financial management and oversight and administration." 4/8

[SF Parks Alliance @SFParksAlliance]

"We began by offering gardening workshops for adults and school field trip programs for youth, and then in 1996 launched Get Up! - our urban agriculture training program. Our students are leading the urban agriculture movement across the Bay Area". 3/8

[SF Parks Alliance @SFParksAlliance]

"In 1990, it started with a vacant lot and an idea: What if we tried to teach everyone in SF to garden?

GFE was founded during the 2nd major California drought. We wanted to design & showcase a garden that would teach water conservation and organic gardening to the public" 2/8
