Pennsylvania Garden: The Jewel of Potrero Hill
Pennsylvania Garden: The Jewel of Potrero Hill from NENtv on Vimeo.
There are no finer examples of one person’s determination transforming an unsightly piece of land into an urban oasis of plants and community than Potrero Hill’s Pennsylvania Garden. In 2008, resident Annie Shaw took a d-shaped piece of land next to the Mariposa Street off ramp on 280 South and began transforming it into a community garden. Soon, the neighborhood got behind her and the result is quite possibly the Jewel of Potrero Hill.
NENtv visits Annie, garden volunteers, and neighbors to find out how Pennsylvania Garden happened and what the rest of San Francisco can learn from Annie and her team’s courage and determination.
