At the corner of Laguna and Fell in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco lies a dilapidated, sad little piece of land next to the freeway. For as long as I’ve lived in the city, this piece of land has been nothing but an eyesore. Fortunately, some kind and creative souls from the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development came up with the idea to transform it into an urban garden! Such a great idea!!
Community members and volunteers are currently trying to rehabilitate the 2.2-acre parcel, known as the Hayes Valley Farm, by planting fava beans and clover to help fix nitrogen in the soil. Then, they’ll plant food crops, like squash, potatoes, and herbs. There is also a container garden with 150 potted fruit trees and 1,500 vegetable seedlings.
If you want to volunteer, show up on Sundays from 12:30-4:30pm or Thursdays 2:30-6:30pm with warm clothes and a water bottle!
