https://sanfranciscosidewalks.wordpress.com/2014/04/12/travels-through-cuba
April 12, 2014. By Karla Nagy Johnson. In November 2013 I attended the 11th International Permaculture Congress (IPC11) in Cuba. I spent 2 weeks traveling with permaculture designers from all over the world, visiting urban food gardens and farms from Havana to Sancti Spiritus and exploring Cuba from the Malecon to the mountains. Below is an album of my photos, beginning with the IPC11 Gala that we attended straight from the airport. Enjoy! The best way to celebrate Earth Day. Veggies By Vets →. 350 Garde...

The best way to celebrate Earth Day. April 23, 2012. By Karla Nagy Johnson. In storm water management. Happy Earth Day everyone! This weekend 1,700 square feet of excess sidewalk in Noe Valley was transformed into beautiful gardens that bring natural habitats to our barren sidewalk and percolates rain water back into the ground rather than overflowing our sewers in a big storm. And it brought together a neighborhood to beautify their block. Now, that’s the way to celebrate Earth Day! More Wanderings in t...

February 22, 2015. By Karla Nagy Johnson. A few years ago Kitchen Garden SF helped a group of military veterans build an edible garden in the middle of the San Francisco Veterans Administration Medical Center campus. Together we learned about nutrition and began transforming a neglected spot along a parking garage into a vibrant garden. Collards and kale and carrots are ready to be. Harvested. We spotted peppers – probably in their second year, but peppers! Https:/ photos.gstatic.com/media/slides...Fill ...

Blown Away in the Desert. May 17, 2010. By Karla Nagy Johnson. Wind farm in San Gregorio Pass off hwy 10. 8211; which wikipedia says is one of the windiest places on the planet, although I couldn’t find any proof of that. But I really can’t imagine any place windier – it almost ripped off the car door when I stopped to take a photo. Its a good place for a wind farm and we passed many as we drove through the valley. Check out a map here. Oak trees, Quercus anustifolia, along hwy 101. Maybe if the weather ...
