This project came to be to address the issue of Detroit being a food desert. With limited access to quality grocery stores and fresh foods, we felt one possible solution is to teach people to grow their own produce (as the saying goes “teach a man to fish…”).
"Plant grow eat love" came to include 64 two liter vegetable gardens that were handed out in Detroit, each garden came with a custom care package including care and repotting info, healthy recipe cards, a guide to finding quality grocery stores in Detroit, and a contact list for local community gardens. We used the garden give-away as an opportunity to promote a workshop the following day where we taught the attendees on how to make similar gardens.
