Botany PSA on Urban Farming/Gardeninig
Botany benchmark
Our video includes an interview with two members of the Greensgrow Farm on Cumberland Ave. They share their views on management of the garden, new urban farms and the societal benefit of these farms. We really wanted to meet with with staff members of urban farms and gardens to know how they think about gardens and farms, what there experiences have been? Not only that, we mention the benefits of composting and the ways to manage soil pH levels. We want people to know that starting or being a part of an urban garden/farm isn't daunting.
As a group member, I contributed in helping create our PSA. Not only that, I worked with another group member to arrange our meeting with Greensgrow Farm. I thoroughly enjoyed our meeting at Greensgrow Farm. The beauty and ambiance of the area was so inviting and pleasant. I personally felt in peace walking through the plants and flowers, it felt so refreshing.
Our other research focused on economical and political impact. Urban farming reduces the cost of fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Small communities growing their own foods lessens our carbon footprint and saves money. Nonetheless, our Administration doesn't believe in going all green. Not only that, accessing land is a difficult at this time.
