Community Garden
Goal: Turn a vacant lot into gardens. Turn the walls on either side of the garden into vertical gardens and murals.
We wish to do this using as many discarded and repurposed materials as we can.
A rain capture system running from the building tops will water the vertical and bedded gardens.
After getting a clearer plan we will involve more community members who will then become ownerous of the garden and the healthy fresh food it produces.
Building the Greenhouse
The first part of the community garden was the greenhouse so we could plant seeds to grow our own plants.
