🌱 We’ve got an edible wall, people!! How cool is this?
A big thank you to Farm Urban, who have loaned us this incredible mini vertical farm, using hydroponics to grow fresh lettuce and herbs.
Our Community Café is the perfect place to house it: we can grow fresh food and share it with our local community. 😊
Our café staff are being trained on how to maintain the wall so we can keep it growing fresh vegetables from the seeds we choose. They’ll then share what they’ve learned with our students in an accessible format, so students can take the lead in caring for the wall and develop these new skills themselves.
We’ll see how the wall goes over the next three months. If it’s a success, we hope we’ll be able to keep it on a longer-term basis. 🌿
