Food is Free Workshop 4: Final Garden Bed Construction for Pilot Project
Posted on February 23, 2012 by foodisfreeproject in Food is Free Blog
1/3 of the Food is Free pilot block is lined in front yard community gardens. They are wicking bed(self watering) gardens built from salvaged materials.
1/3 of the pilot block is lined in front yard gardens! The PILOT will be complete in just two short weeks once we have 2/3 of block lined in community gardens. Then we expand to new neighborhoods!
