Temescal Street Garden
Neighbors organized to raise funds and build a 1,000 square foot shared garden on Caltrans land adjacent to Highway 24 and a residential street in Oakland. The project has helped deter illegal dumping and has made a place to grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and other plants. Ten years since its creation, the garden is going strong, and neighbors have added beehives that produce honey several times a year.
A Home for Honey Bees
We take care of a hive and the bees provide us honey harvests three times a year. The bees love our local flowers and plants and we love their sweet honey! Building mutually reinforcing activities one flower at a time.
Community Space
Neighbors take care of the shared garden space. Throughout the year, we host several events for neighbors to gather for fun and gather to complete projects, like honey harvests and garden word days.
