The Portola Garden Tour is a benefit for The Portola Garden Scholarship at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). In 2016, we were able to increase our scholarship amounts and now award two, $1,000 scholarships and two $500 a year (even more if we have inspiring students applying!) toward tuition and fees and awards up to $1,500 for completed work projects in The Portola neighborhood for a student(s) in the Environmental Horticulture and Floristry Department. As of today, we have awarded nearly 20 scholarships and three work projects in the Portola including the Alemany Island Improvement Project (the garden at the base of the snake mural), the Burrows Park at the base of Burrows Street at San Bruno Avenue, and a landscape project at the new brewery on San Bruno Avenue, FDR.
