Cracks in the Asphalt: Community Gardens of San Francisco

by Alex Hatch

Cracks in the Asphalt is a one of a kind guide book to thirty of San Francisco's Community Gardens, but will be of interest to those not in the city! One important aspect of the book is to let readers know that these gardens were born out of the hard work of each group of neighborhood activists whose role was to not only create a garden where there was a dumping ground, but to create a sense of community as well. Because of this the gardens are situated over looking freeways, in downtown areas, in out of the way corners and busy neighborhoods. Beautiful full-color photos by Stacey J. Miller throughout!

Love this book : ) And it even features the garden where I used to be a member when I lived in SF.

Good book about the Community gardens of SF. Gives a good history.

Beautiful and simple. Needs updating (already!) to include new ones since 2008.
