Today at the garden, we took advantage of the beautiful day and planted some more fence pockets. Because some of our larger
succulents have been removed from the pockets (hopefully getting planted in other gardens) we got smaller
succulents that are more difficult for those who
pass by to remove. We collected some more large tin cans that we painted and will be drilling water holes in on Wednesday.
Check out the different types of pockets and
succulents that we planted today.
We're experimenting with different sizes and materials to see what kind of pockets the plants like the best.

One of the favorite volunteer tasks of our gardeners is watering. So, we've converted our south lot into
perennial flowers that don't mind lots and lots of watering.

Visitors and new volunteers are welcomed at the garden anytime we are open. Above, you'll see someone passing by and chatting with volunteers who explain what they're planting.
Ty, leads a skill share on planting
succulents. Join us in the garden any Monday, Wednesday or Friday from 12-4:30pm. All are welcome!
This past Thursday and Friday, 33 individuals who attended the most recent Project Homeless Connect event attended a follow up party at either the Bayview Roots Garden or Growing Home Garden. Participants enjoyed lunch and garden skill shares. 
We've started offering a free yoga skill share at the garden every Wednesday at 2:30pm. We have a few mats at the garden that can be used or you are welcome to bring your own.
We just put up a sign to let people know which days during the holiday we will be closed. December 14th we will be closed, because we will be helping out at the Project Homeless Connect Event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. We'll be handing out fliers and talking to people about the garden parties we will be hosting on December 15th and 16th. 
A special thank you to everyone who has dropped off hoodie donations at the garden for our Hoodies for the Homeless drive. The hoodies will be given away at the Project Homeless Connect event. Our regular volunteers from the SF Friends School 3rd grade delivered 68 hoodies and an addition 43 have been donated by facebook friends and neighbors.
