The Eden Project

The Eden Project is growing. Literally. Around our city, they have begun to take lawns in urban neighborhoods and utilize them as fruit, vegetables and herb gardens to produce food for the needy and meal sites in Tampa. Working in collaboration with the Lake House they have a composting co-op of 10 houses who collect compost to create the soil for the garden network. They hope to raise awareness of the importance of local agriculture. For the Eden Project these gardens are not just a hobby, they are a way of life and they are essential to reducing the environmental and social impact of the globalization of our food.
