I'm always happy to visit this garden at 7th Avenue at Lawton, and we've come here on the blog together many times. This place demonstrates what a productive, water-wise, and ecologically friendly San Francisco garden can be...given sufficient sun. Even situated in the fog belt, as this garden most certainly is, on a corner lot without any tall buildings, a home gardener would be blessed to have this much sun anywhere in San Francisco.
The gardeners emphasize year-round flowers, and year-round food production. The small, attractive beds are perfect for small, city gardens.
I didn't get pictures, but they also grow several apple trees, a big kiwi vine, and some lemons.

I really like that entry gate and garden, and the blue-flowering tree is stunning.
Wonderful pics. What is that lovely tree in the second pic. I've never seen one like that.
Wow, there's so much going on! I bet their insect problems are few and far between with all that biodiversity for "good bug" habitat!
