In 2003, San Francisco Beautiful recognized the Corwin Street Community Garden with a Beautification Award. The Koshland family gifted this property to the City and donated seed money. Volunteer community effort on Recreation and Park Department property using recycled and donated materials, extensive native planting and limited irrigation together created a lush, clean and educational greenspace above the Castro.
For more than 40 years, San Francisco Beautiful has been honoring San Franciscans who make special contributions to the unique character and beauty of our City with the Annual Beautification Awards.
