MISSION GREENBELT PROJECT
The Mission Greenbelt Project is working with San Francisco residents, artists and designers to build an earthwork of sidewalk gardens, planters, and rooftop gardens planted to attract urban wildlife – bees, birds & butterflies. The proposed route connects Mission District parks and open spaces between Dolores Park (19th & Dolores) and Franklin Square Park (16th & Bryant).
In place of concrete, gardens enliven public space and create habitat for local wildlife. Gardens also improve the environment by accepting rainwater into the soil, which relieves the city’s overburdened water treatment system.
This project is part of a San Francisco-based movement, which includes PlantSF, Mission Roots, Guerrero Street Greening and others, who together are helping transform the city by taking back cement and planting gardens.
