I was approached at the beginning of this season to start working with residents of a Coop Housing. This complex has an ideal situation. A large central court yard with raised boxes. The boxes were cleaned up and new growing medium installed and then I began working with a few interested residents and committed volunteers already involved with an ongoing cooking program happening through the communal kitchen.
The Grow Project actually grew out of the Cooking Program with the intention of both growing organic veggies for this project and to support and share learning with residents who would like to grow food for themselves.
Despite the surrounding buildings blocking direct sunshine for much of the day many of the varieties we grew have flourished.
Our first harvest for the Community Kitchen. The volunteers look quite proud of the results.
