About Tompkins Stairway Garden
A community garden and public stairway. Tompkins Stairway Garden is a neighbor-supported green space and pedestrian corridor in San Francisco's Bernal Heights, linking Tompkins Avenue between Nevada and Putnam Streets. The site features a drought-tolerant garden with year-round blooms and a colorful tiled stairway. Neighbors care for the garden through regular weeding, trimming, and cleanup, with tools and work gloves provided for volunteers. The garden serves people traveling to the Alemany Farmers' Market, nearby schools, and shopping districts. Its landscape design was provided by Arterra Landscape Architects, and the multicolored zigzag tile design was inspired by painted steps in Deir Atiyah, Syria. The project was completed in spring 2019 and received San Francisco Beautiful's 2019 Placemaking Award.
