Alice Fong Yu School Garden (San Francisco, CA)

What a fabulous little school garden in San Francisco this is. I visited in September, when the apples (for the teachers?) were getting ready for school.

It’s just a little garden on a very steep hillside. The garden designers did some excellent work building terraced raised beds into the hill. I think those poles holding up the sides of the beds might even be the same materials used for playground equipment?

We also got a presentation from the local school garden coordinator. Can you believe that’s really her job? This woman gets paid to go around schools, growing gardens with kids. Talk about a dream job.

Gotta love the little details.
