The Garden is Our Classroom

Established in 2008, the 18th and Rhode Island Permaculture Garden in Potrero Hill, San Francisco has been evolving and maturing into what can now be called an Urban Food Forest.

We have over 40 fruit and nut trees on just 5,000 square feet, interplanted with a diverse array of support, productive, and native plants.

This site is a prime example of solid ecological design in practice and serves as our classroom for this hands-on garden design learning series.
