2nd Street Garden Project Kickoff
Since 2004, the 2nd Street Garden has been a labor of love with the support of the local community. Formerly named the “Friends of Second Street” garden, the design, original plantings and maintenance were funded through generous neighborhood gifts.
The time has come to revive and reorganize the ongoing care of our garden. Under the stewardship of Sausalito Beautiful, a pilot program, Neighborhood Projects, is organizing support and donations for the ongoing care of our charming 2nd Street Garden.
Sausalito Beautiful is committed to addressing long-deferred care and maintenance of Sausalito’s public landscapes. In that spirit, Sausalito Beautiful has committed to one year of support, offering to contribute $600 if the community can raise $1400 through neighborhood donations, to help encourage our adoption of this garden. It will serve as a model for other Neighborhood Projects. After 2019, we hope that the project will be self-funded through a regular donation program (via Sausalito Beautiful).
The 2019 goal is to raise $2,000 (including the matching gifts) from the community for professional gardening maintenance by January 31, 2019.
Goals
- Raise $2,000 to fund ongoing biannual professional gardening maintenance.
- Organize biannual neighborhood gardening meetups.
How will $2,000 be spent?
Funds will go towards professional gardening services twice a year for the 2nd Street Garden, and include pruning, weeding and mulching as needed to preserve this neighborhood treasure. Supplemental volunteer neighborhood gardening meetups will help with weeding and pruning in between professional services.
