The Portola Urban Greening Committee, The Greenhouse Project, and the Portola Neighborhood Association are excited to begin work on the long neglected Caltrans site adjacent to Ruth's Children's Shoppe in the Portola Neighborhood, and transform it into a site of neighborhood pride emblematic of the Portola's Garden District Identity. The new landscaping on the site will attract beneficial pollinators, as well as help absorb localized pollution from the nearby 101-south highway. We welcome you to join us for one or all of our upcoming volunteer days. Together we will clear the site, prepare the soil, and plant the beautiful new California native drought tolerant landscaping. We look forward to improving San Francisco’s public realm and sustainability together!
