Join us on the 1st Saturday of every month at the Tompkins Stairway Garden from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Engage in rewarding activities such as weeding, pruning, and litter picking and contribute to the upkeep of this quaint piece of greenery in our beloved Bernal neighborhood!

If you often use these stairs to travel to or from the Alemany Farmers Market, this is the perfect opportunity to help preserve their beauty.

We will provide work gloves and the necessary tools for the tasks. Moreover, experts from the U.C. Master Gardener program will impart knowledge on plant care. For safety, we recommend wearing long-sleeved tops, long pants, and sturdy shoes. Don’t forget to bring water to keep yourself hydrated.

Location: At the junction of Tompkins Avenue and Nevada Street, right at the top of the stairs. Join us and make a difference!

Once a trash-covered hillside, San Francisco’s Tompkins Stairway Garden is a safe and welcoming street park featuring a drought-tolerant garden in year-round bloom and a colorful tiled stairway. Dedicated attention from surrounding neighbors has transformed the site into a community greenspace and pedestrian corridor serving the Alemany Farmers’ Market and nearby schools and shopping districts.
