Today, we’re excited to announce the official launch of Eden’s AI-powered sidewalk garden system — a new way to bring nature back to the street and beauty back to the block.
After months of prototyping, testing, and listening to the needs of San Francisco homeowners, designers, and neighbors, Eden’s sidewalk garden product is now live — and ready to help anyone transform concrete into something alive.
What Is Eden’s Sidewalk Garden Product?
Eden is a turnkey service that makes it easy to design, permit, and install a thriving sidewalk garden in San Francisco. Just input your address and our AI system generates a custom native plant design tailored to your microclimate, site conditions, and city code.
We handle:
- Design — tailored for San Francisco’s microclimates
- Permitting — we apply for your free permit so you don’t have to
- Installation — native plants, mulch, and labels included
- Documentation — photos and plant lists for sharing, real estate listings, or public signage
All done in under 4 weeks.
Why Sidewalk Gardens?
Sidewalk gardens aren’t just a pretty upgrade. They:
- Cool the street and reduce urban heat
- Absorb stormwater and reduce runoff
- Support pollinators and local biodiversity
- Increase property value
- Spark neighbor pride and community conversation
We believe these narrow curb strips — often overlooked — are some of the most important public spaces in the city. Our mission is to make them bloom.

A New Layer: The Atlas Project
We’re also excited to introduce The Atlas — an interactive map showcasing sidewalk gardens across San Francisco.
The Atlas is part of Eden’s vision to make public greening more visible, traceable, and inspiring. Each Eden garden added to the map includes:
- Plant tags and species IDs
- Street-level photos
- Design references for others to learn from
We see sidewalks as a living archive — and The Atlas is how we help every block tell its story.
