Up On Top! Garden Club
Up On Top! is an organization that provides free after-school and summer programs to local kids at the Tenderloin Rec Center in San Francisco. I’m so lucky to be a part of it, teaching elementary- and middle-schoolers about plants and nature in a Garden Club that I helped to set up in summer of 2022.
