At the Matter of Trust Eco-Center in San Francisco, CA we have created a fun urban planters exhibit and offer innovative field trips encouraging nature in the city. Using small footprint vertical gardens, aquaponic systems, and raised bed planters on balconies and rooftops, cities can grow vegetables and improve their quality of life. Greenery provides vital flowers for bees and butterflies, fresh herbs and vegetables to eat as well as calming beauty. | At the Matter of Trust Eco-Center in San Francisco, CA we have created a fun urban planters exhibit and offer innovative field trips encouraging nature in the city.

Then we have community gardens. Some fortunate people have direct experience managing small spots within a community garden, growing their favorite vegetables or, in some cases, ornamental plants. These small parcels often are borrowed spaces within urban surroundings, making good but temporary use of the soil, allowing a few people to enjoy the pleasure of gardening and the benefit of the produce — either at their own tables or the tables of friends. | |||
