Want to know a bit more about these gardens? Well, here's the scoop: "Edible City" initiatives involve transforming public spaces into productive, urban gardens that bring everyone closer to nature. The aim? To promote community engagement, urban greening, biodiversity, and local food accessibility.
Other objectives include education, social equity, and urban food production. That means you can get your hands dirty, learn your way around a shovel, and be part of a city-wide effort to change the way we produce and consume food. Sounds like a worthwhile cause, right?
