Description

Grow was a public forum, teaching tool and creative laboratory for ecological and social sustainability practices. A wide range of activities such as walking dialogues with experts, design charettes, and urban farming workshops engaged the community in the creation of the Bulkhead Urban Agriculture Lab. Grow involved local, environmental, and creative communities in the process of turning an old industrial site into a space for growing food and sharing ideas, knowledge and skills.
