Enhancing Shotwell Street: Safety and Beauty

Planters for a Safer, More Beautiful Community
Welcome to our GoFundMe campaign! We are excited to share a project that aims to beautify Shotwell Street in San Francisco by installing planters on the east side of the street between 18th and 19th. Our goal is to transform this area into a welcoming and vibrant space for everyone to enjoy.
Our Mission
Our aim is to foster an environment where residents, businesses, and visitors can flourish. Through the installation of planters containing low-maintenance flowering plants, we aspire to transform Shotwell Street into a safer and more welcoming haven for everyone.
Why Planters?
Planters offer a versatile solution to several challenges our community faces. They not only beatify the area, but they also combat the accumulation of trash and discarded items. Furthermore, these green spaces have been proven to have a positive impact on mental well-being and encourage community engagement.
About SF Planters
We are excited to work in collaboration with SF Planters, a trusted local company with a passion for transforming urban spaces into green havens.
Inspired by Success
We find inspiration in a recently accomplished project on Harrison Street, right beside the famous Carnaval Mural. This project has proven that revitalizing urban spaces with greenery not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also fosters a sense of pride and safety within our community.
The Numbers
We anticipate requiring 24 planters to span this section of Shotwell Street. These substantial planters are 6 feet in length, constructed from durable galvanized aluminum tanks. They are filled with a blend of rocks and nutrient-rich soil, assuring drainage and providing a stable foundation for plants and flowers. Each planter weighs over 1,000lbs, guaranteeing their stability and longevity in beautifying our street.
