JCCSF Rooftop Garden

The JCCSF Rooftop Garden is a place where children and adults can discover and learn how to grow food and care for plants through a unique range of urban agriculture programming.  Learning opportunities and curriculum include a focus on small scale gardening, culinary education, and environmental awareness.  We regularly serve preschool and SFUSD afterschool students during the school year and throughout the Summer within a diverse camp setting.  An expanded series of Rooftop Garden Workshops will be open to adults this Summer and through the rest of 2013.
