Is Kezar Gardens Ecology your favorite place in the neighborhood? Maybe it gave you your first garden or you come here to recycle a couple times a week. Maybe you landscaped your home with native plants from Greg’s nursery or your kids came through on an educational tour this year. Maybe you stopped by our picnic or garden work day or took part in the 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt earlier this year? Maybe you plan to come by August 11th and participate in the Great Backyard Bee Count sponsored by http://www.greatsunflower.org?
Whatever the reason you love to use the space at Kezar Gardens, now you can share that love with the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services. They have a new interactive website called http://www.improveSF.com.
You can register and upload a photo of Kezar Gardens as your favorite thing in the neighborhood or LIKE another photo of the Garden already uploaded. This could be a way to get the attention of the only person who can stop the eviction of Kezar Gardens Ecology Center, the only ecology center of its kind in the city of San Francisco.
Copy and paste the websites addresses to be directed to their sites:

Hey one person should create this as there favorite place then everyone else simply needs to like it. No need to have multiple people create multiple items it will be stronger to have it all under one item.
Thanks. I will change the text to reflect that option as well. So far, no one who has submitted something has been approved. I think if we get one up there, we can encourage people to like it as well as have multiple entries. Have you uploaded to the site yet? I am still trying.
That is sad I think reporters should be informed of the fact the Mayors office is playing politics with there web site entries and keeping the people of SF from being able to say what they think and ask them to call them out for this in an article.
It’s really really a shame. It is our hope that the community takes notice of city gov’t and these indirect actions that seek to limit the voice of the citizens. Hopefully someone will get to post something eventually. We will keep trying. Thanks for your support.
Hi Greg,
I and my former students from SOTA used to volunteer at the garden. I have Ceanothus “Joyce Coulter” and Coffeeberry I would like to donate to the garden.
Email me at fidettec@yahoo.com.
