Description:
The purpose of this project is to investigate and stimulate community interactions on a micro and a macro level by utilizing planters that were given to WIC participants in the BCS area. The planters will be used to grow low-maintenance crops that have the ability to be grown on your windowsill. These crops will then be harvested and be used to create meals for a family of “team size”. This will stimulate a family breakfast/lunch/dinner and it will allow us the ability to observe how long these crops will last for an entire family, and also evaluate ourselves and see how we feel as members of the B/CS community
