18th and Rhode Island Garden

18th and Rhode Island Garden 18th and Rhode Island Garden Over the years, the 5000 sq ft site has evolved as a hub for community connection, sustainable design and ecological education.

A 'lil bit about this urban site:
In 2008, with support from SF’s Planning Department, residents and students of the Urban Permaculture Institute transformed an empty lot at 18th and Rhode Island into a lush food forest. The garden yields an abundance of produce that is donated to neighbors, volunteers and local food activist organizations. Based on the ecological ethic of care of people, care of

earth and reinvestment of the surplus, SF Permaculture Guild supports events, projects and info-sharing opportunities around permaculture design. 18th and Rhode Island is the Guild’s official demonstration garden.
