The Production Farm was started by group of teenagers all connected through the foster care system, who have come together to design, build and plant the rooftop garden all while filming themselves in the process to create a reality television show about their journey.
UW Extension Vegetable Garden is maintained by a different group of master gardeners every season. It’s an easily accessed, educational garden with several raised beds set up in a culinary theme. There are garden beds representing Italian, French and Southeast Asian cuisines. Don’t miss the covered trellis covered in scarlet and sunset runner beans and interesting, repurposed materials incorporated throughout the space.
The urban agriculture movement grows as communities and individuals of neighborhoods, schools, churches, homes and parks turn their green spaces into productive growing plots. We will highlight how people in our neighborhoods are creating a sustainable food system by raising their own fruits, vegetables and herbs. Spend the morning touring selected gardens of the Green Bay area at a self guided schedule. This event is open to the public.
