Guerrero Park List revised 9/23/09

Guerrero Park is a ‘Pavement to Parks’ project in San Francisco established in September 2009 and located at the intersection of San Jose Avenue, Guerrero Street and 28th Street in the Inner Mission District. Plant*SF invites you to take this plant list along on your next visit. Jane Martin, founding director of Plant*SF and principal of Shift Design Studio designed the park and provided plant selection and placement services. With two exceptions ( and apple trees), these were sourced from the Recreation and Parks Department’s Golden Gate Park Nursery, however nearly all are commercially available through local nurseries. All are climate adapted (drought tolerant), meaning they require very little supplemental watering once established. In home gardens they should not need irrigation. The plantings are arranged primarily by color. Additional groupings appear in the raised cylinder planters. Bamboo line the western edge of the park. The three main log planters contain Blue/Purple, Red/Orange and Yellow selections. The island planters contain white flowering plants with fruiting apple trees. Four species of fallen logs were sourced from Golden Gate Park; See on-site signage for further information. Log Planters at “Blue/Purple” section, 2009.
