SAVE THE DATE: Green L(a)unch Party & Workday Sat July 23



Bring some green to the top of Lyon at Turk


20 + concrete squares to be removed for landscaping

Our Green Turk & Lyon project is about to delve into the dirt to make this corner greener, more sustainable, and definitely more permeable (let the rain soak in, fill the aquifier and spare the sewer system). On Saturday, July 23rd neighbors from the North Panhandle, Anza Vista, Alamo Square, the Richmond, and the Haight (and anyone else too) will gather at Cyprian's to make the city's latest greening project happen.

Stop by, lend a hand and celebrate during the Turk & Lyon Green L(a) unch -- project kick-off, free green lunch and desserts, green door prizes, info on how you can transform your own sidewalk, and live music through the afternoon.

For those wanting to get in the dirt, we'll mix top soil into more than 20 squares formerly covered by concrete, place pavers for convenient crossing, and start the planting for a new community green spot. Tools will be available but bring your own if you can (trowels, rakes, shovels and gloves).

Free lunch at noon (we guarantee you'll get your green quotient for the day)
Live music in the afternoon. Bring an instrument!
