Victory Gardens '08 San Francisco

Victory gardens return to San Francisco's City Hall - not seen last since 1943!

The 2008 gardens are a massive collaboration between a bunch of fantastic groups and people, including idea originator artist/designer Amy Franceschini, Willow Rosenthal and Slicker Farms in Oakland, Alice Waters and Slow Food Nation, and a huge number of warm-hearted and enthusiastic community members, with the whole affair managed by CMG Landscape Architecture's John Bela. And all supported, of course, by mayor Gavin Newsom and the City of San Francisco.

The gardens will be up for a full growing season, at which point the food will be harvested and given to the SF food bank. Hopefully this larger garden and event will give rise to a more widespread city movement in urban farming.
