See how San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood has been transformed from an industrial area into a green and welcoming place on this walk led by Julie Christensen.
As a formerly industrial area, Dogpatch is not known for its tree canopy. But its warm, sunny climate does support flame and silk floss trees, jacarandas, and even redwoods. It's a walkable, quirky neighborhood recently hailed by Time Out magazine as one of the best in the world.
"What I love most," says Julie Christensen, Executive Director of the Dogpatch & NW Potrero Hill Green Benefit District, "is the way Dogpatch neighbors have used trees and vegetation to transform neglected, marginal spaces -- Caltrans and Caltrain parcels, unaccepted streets, sidewalk verges -- into green and welcoming parks and gardens."
In between warehouses, gardens boast orioles, hawks and butterflies. Join Julie for a walk around Dogpatch and see what a little DIY energy can do. We'll begin and end at Wood Yards Park.
After the tour, consider visiting Crane Cove Park, Chase Center, or the roof garden at RH.
