Garden for the Environment

Garden for the Environment (GFE) will offer the following workshops and events from mid-March through April 2026. All will be at Garden for the Environment, San Francisco’s teaching garden, 1590 7th Avenue (at Lawton). Founded in 1990, GFE offers informative, hands-on workshops on most Saturdays that teach Bay Area residents how to grow climate-appropriate gardens and food, make compost, and conserve water. We hope you’ll join us for some of these terrific learning opportunities—we’re excited to have you in the garden!

NOTE: Our new greenhouse and storage facilities are done and they look great! Stop by the garden to check them out. 

The garden’s center area is closed to the public most days. When possible, we will open the center on Saturdays. Give yourself a few extra minutes to find your workshop on Saturdays. 

For volunteer hours, we will congregate in the Victory Garden area for check-in. Please access this space from our northwest and northeast entrances.
