In Bayview Hunters Point, many residents have discovered the value of raising food in community gardens, their own backyards, decks, and even inside. The density of low-income families, the neighborhood's "food shed" history, the paucity of food retailers, and the economic downturn have all converged to make food grown nearby especially important here.
Similar factors are at work in other neighborhoods throughout the city and state, of course. Now, with the promise of drought everpresent, many people are thinking about "kissing the lawn goodbye."
For those people, the SF Main Library's Green Stacks program, cosponsored by the Stegner Environmental Center and the San Francisco Department of Environment, is providing expert advice about plant and lawn options during this dry time.
On Wednesday, June 24th from 6 to 7:30pm, in the Latino/Hispanic Community Room of the Main Library at 100 Larkin St. at Grove, Fred Bove and Jake Sigg will dispense green news you can really use. Bove is a permaculturist and formerly the Director of Adult Education at the Strybing Arboretum Botanical Gardens. Sigg is a native plant guru and advocate.
Not to be missed!
