Social Ecology Experiment In San Francisco

Victory of the Mad Viking, San Francisco from Spots Unknown on Vimeo.


These guys have taken the concept of square-foot gardening and vertical growth to an abandoned hilltop in San Francisco. They discovered that if you flood so-called “bad areas” with gardening and Grandmas, the criminal element is embarrassed to the point that a new standard of behavior can be created. Operating under the belief that the area was simply too beautiful to waste and that San Fran’s open-space budget was sitting unused, they’ve developed a community garden that feeds the hungry with foods that “fill you up.”

Not really a message here, I just thought it was cool.

Carry on.
