San Francisco Street Tree Nursery

The San Francisco Street Tree Nursery occupies a space that once served as a maintenance yard for the city, but it now functions as a high-tech agricultural hub for the urban canopy. The facility utilizes a specialized irrigation system that captures and filters stormwater runoff from the site, providing the exact water requirements for hundreds of young saplings before they are planted across city sidewalks. This closed-loop system replaces the need for municipal water transport and ensures that the trees are acclimated to the local rainfall patterns months before they ever touch the ground.
