mission greenbelt
The Mission Greenbelt is an urban earth artwork establishing native plant gardens in place of cement sidewalks along a selected corridor in San Francisco's Mission District. Founded by Amber Hasselbring, the Mission Greenbelt began by occupying the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery in 2007 to mount a public awareness campaign about San Francisco's ecology and the city's Sidewalk Landscaping Permit process, and now facilitates community involvement, landscape design, and city permits at many sites simultaneously.Now including the Sangati Center! The Sangati Center and Mission Greenbelt are teaming up to remove some concrete and establish a native plant garden on our corner of 22nd Street and Shotwell.
Stay tuned for how you can be involved, and meanwhile check out the Mission Greenbelt's progress at:
