SF Refresh was a part of the Growing Home's Seeding Resilience project, which increased access to mental health services and provides employment opportunities and skills. A two year innovation project (2010-2012) with major support provided by the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), the Seeding Resilience project was 75% focused on the Growing Home Community Garden (Octavia & Lily) and 25% on working with Urban Agricultural leaders in San Francisco to build a citywide network of support for mental health consumers.
