TEMPORARY Community Garden
SIZE: 10,000 SF +/-
LAUNCH DATE: JUNE 2014
CURRENT TEMPORARY LOCATION: Mission Bay
Parklab pioneered this program as one of the first methods to activate future park sites as interim uses on otherwise vacant land, in response to the 30-year phased build-out of the 300-acre Mission Bay neighborhood.
Designed to be temporary and/or ‘nomadic’, this ‘pop-up’ garden concept first launched a decade ago, as a partnership between Parklab and a new neighbor-led organization, Nomad Gardens. The gardens have already completed at least one move, traveling a few blocks west from their original location. They are now under the management of the local non-profit organization Urban Sprouts. Community members and the general public work directly with Urban Sprouts to be placed on their waitlist, or participate in a range of workshops, community events, volunteer days, and more.
