The Problem
Our goal is to develop a series of low-tech, low-cost methods of growing flowers and edible plants outside our school and in cooperation with our local food shelf. Some examples of growing methods could include straw bale, trellis, containers, pallet walls, hanging containers, etc. The money would be used to buy plants and seeds mainly, but would also be used for some miscellaneous hardware and building materials. We are planning to coordinate with the area food shelf which has similar plans to develop some growing stations on their property.
