An Interview :Urban Farming Seaview Project

Our own Mellissia Bennett interviews two of the participants of the program, Roneil McKensie and Kemar Morrison, both residents of Seaview Gardens. They tell of their hopes for the program,and explain how they secured food within the community. Many of the participants in the program are unemployed and they have decided to use t he program to help them provide food and an income.

Urban Farming Update: Seaview Gardens Project September 6,2013

So the containers have been prepared for planting seeds and the participants are revved and ready to go. The team is overwhelmed by the interest from regular "ghetto youths" who are not afraid to try something new. These man have truly been put in a box, it is a true inspiration, that given different opportunities we can begin anew.

Well as you follow, let us know your comments and suggestions.
