Community gardens are all the rage these days. But we only have one here in the Richmond District that I know of, and that’s Argonne Community Garden, located on 16th Avenue between Cabrillo and Fulton.
The city has approved a new community garden for the Southeast corner of Golden Gate Park, and on Monday, January 31st there is a community meeting to begin organizing the project.
The organizing committee will work with neighbors and other community garden leaders to come up with a plan for garden sites. The meeting will be facilitated by long-time Haight resident Isabel Wade, whom you can contact in advance at isabelwade@gmail.com.
If you’re interested in securing a plot in the new garden, contact Recreations & Park Dept. Program Manager Marvin Yee at Marvin.Yee@sfgov.org to put your name on the list.
The January 31 meeting will take place at McClaren Lodge in Golden Gate Park (Stanyan at Fell) from 5pm until 7pm.
