Urban Agriculture Resources

San Francisco Rec and Park’s Urban Agriculture Program provides free materials for the backyard gardener, community gardener, or urban farmer through regularly scheduled Garden Resource Days . These events, held every 6 weeks during the non-winter months, offer compost at every event as well as mulch, seeds, plant starts and composting worms when available. Garden Resource Days are now held in the overflow parking lot for Gleneagles Golf Course at 2100 Sunnydale Avenue. They are a “bring-your-own-bucket” event and amounts are limited.

2025 Garden Resource Days

Saturdays: February 22, March 8, April 5, July 19, Sept 27, November 1

Thursdays: May 15, October 9

Please note: Participants are limited to collecting 5 buckets of compost (approximately 3 cubic feet) per household at each event. Though we endeavor to provide enough supplies for everyone, amounts are limited to what we have on hand that day. Through a special program, funded by SF Department of the Environment and the state of California, we are able to provide extra compost for all event dates listed above. HOWEVER, because supplies are limited, we invite everyone to demonstrate kindness and a sense of community sharing with your gardener neighbors when collecting these resources. Please follow all instructions from staff, volunteers and Park Rangers to ensure these are fun and safe events for everyone.
