SUMMARY:Tompkins Stairway Garden Work Day
DESCRIPTION:Tompkins Stairway Garden Work Day\nJoin us on the 1st Saturday of every month at the Tompkins Stairway Garden from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to engage in rewarding activities such as weeding\, pruning\, and litter picking\, and help maintain this quaint green space in our beloved Bernal neighborhood! \nIf you often use these stairs to travel to or from the Alemany Farmers Market\, this is the perfect opportunity to help preserve their beauty. \nWe 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. \nLocation: At the junction of Tompkins Avenue and Nevada Street\, right at the top of the stairs. Join us and make a difference! \n\nOnce 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. \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nUpper Esmeralda Garden Stairway- Community Workdays\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas

Please bring your own knife and cutting board! \nPlease note: kids 15 years or older are welcome \nInstructors: Tamara Kahhale and Auguste Brown\nTamara Kahhale (she/her) is a former electrical engineer turned landworker who worked in climate technology before realizing she wanted to approach the climate crisis through an agricultural\, land-based lens. She has developed a deep passion for regenerative agriculture and soil health\, as well as food justice and sovereignty\, climate education\, and community-driven practices. As the daughter of Lebanese immigrants\, she has a deep connection to food and believes everyone has the right to eat culturally relevant food in ways that help the planet. She has 1.5 years of professional kitchen experience—both in the kitchen and teaching—and has been a hobby chef and baker throughout her adult life. Tamara has been part of the Alemany Farm team for 1.5 years as a workday leader and garden/nutrition coordinator. \nAuguste Brown (he/him) has volunteered at Alemany since early 2025 and is an experienced home cook. Coming from a background in the climate space\, Auguste is passionate about building food systems that nourish us and our planet alike. As a Bay Area native\, he also gets fulfillment from a deep connection to the land and local seasonality. Auguste firmly believes in the power of food to bring people together\, and has seen this firsthand at Alemany Farm. When not volunteering at the farm\, Auguste works in renewable energy and is always happy to nerd out about batteries or microgrids. \nAlemany Farm\nThe largest agricultural site in San Francisco\, Alemany Farm offers everyone a chance to learn where their food comes from\, pitch in\, and take home fresh produce for free. Learn more below and come get your hands dirty with us! \nSuggested Donation: $55 (includes materials/ ingredients). No one is turned away for lack of funds.
