We had the wonderful opportunity to meet and work with members of the Quesada Gardens Initiative, to create a video that tells the story of how they approach community building in the Bayview, Hunter’s Point district of San Francisco.
Prior to the video project, we produced an audio story about Quesada Gardens Initiative.

The Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood of San Francisco has struggled with many issues including drugs, gangs, violence, prostitution, environmental justice, poverty, lack of access to healthy food, and more. Quesada Gardens Initiative is bringing residents together around the common goal of improving their streets and their quality of life.
They’re building community by giving residents a voice, access to information, and multiple projects and events to participate in. Positive change is occurring through public art projects, outdoor film screenings, fruit harvesting, dances, backyard edible gardening, community gardens, and more. Jeffrey Betcher, James Ross, and Shane King took the time recently to tell us about what it takes to grow a community.
Take a listen.
