Buena Vista Park
Join us to celebrate our 30th summer working in Buena Vista Park, located at Haight and Baker Streets. A team of students will work to make major improvements to the park including clearing out overgrown brush, removing litter, planting trees and plants, and building structures to prevent soil erosion.
San Francisco Botanical Garden
Enterprise will hire a team of students to work in the San Francisco Botanical Garden at 9th Avenue and Lincoln Way in Golden Gate Park. The Botanical Garden grows and conserves plants from all over the world. Students will weed, reseed, plant, prune and relocate plants in specific areas of the Botanical Garden.
McLaren Park
The wildest site in our Summer Gardening Program is McLaren Park, the second largest park in San Francisco, located in the Excelsior district. A gardening crew will have the opportunity to plant, work in natural areas, weed and clear fennel forests and brush in this 360-acre park.
