DESCRIPTION:This summer the rooftop at Glide Memorial, a progressive church & nonprofit 
 located in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, has been transformed 
 into an edible, community-produced vegetable garden! Under the project 
 leadership of Maya Donelson, the rooftop has grown into a demonstration of 
 local, urban, sustainable, Do-It-Ourselves food production. The rooftop 
 features soil-less gardening vegetable growers; Earthboxes, a brand of 
 self-watering container; customized, lightweight garden beds made from 
 shipping pallets and milk crates; a worm composting system and an 
 educational mural which ties the whole project together.\n \nThroughout the 
 summer, community volunteers from throughout the Bay Area and Glide youth 
 all contributed to create the garden.\n \nCome celebrate the fruits of this 
 summer's labor with us, take a garden tour, and kick off the National Day 
 of Action for Green Jobs one day early at our opening reception on Friday, 
 September 26th from 4:30 to 7:00.  The event will take place at Glide 
 Memorial Church, 330 Ellis St. in San Francisco. Speakers include Project 
 Organizer Maya Donelson, representatives from Green For All, Bay Localize, 
 and leaders in the green roof industry. \n\nWe will be accepting donations 
 for program development and garden maintenance at this event. \n\nThis 
 project was inspired by the work and support of Bay Localize and made 
 possible by a Slingshot Grant Award, a joint venture between CLIF Mojo and 
 Focus the Nation to empower young people to propel creative global warming 
 solutions into action. Many thanks go to the donations and support of 
 Architects, Designers and Planners for Social Responsibility, Six Degrees 
 of Sustainability, the East Bay & San Francisco Permaculture Community, 
 Hyphae Design Laboratory, Garden for the Environment, Thomas Azwell, 
 Michael Zuckerman & Temple SF, General Hydroponics, American Soil and 
 Stone, and all the volunteers who came out to support the build out of this 
 garden.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/09/16/18538929.php
