GROWING COMMUNITY
Nearly three dozen high-energy volunteers joined forces this month to help create a thriving community garden in the Oceanview-Merced Heights-Ingleside ( OMI ) neighborhood .
Sisterhood Gardens , at Brotherhood Way and Arch Street , had been a long-time dream of neighbors and work has been progressing since the official ground-breaking in spring 2016 . Public Works helped prepare the land .
Working alongside representatives from the Public Works Community Programs team and the Department of the Environment , community members got to work on Feb . 11 to weed planter boxes , install gopher wire , plant four Meyer lemon trees , install compost bins , stencil plot numbers on garden boxes and partially assemble a tool shed . More community workdays are planned . February 2017 - San Francisco Public Works Newsletter
