Prototype Bench Planter
After a long “winter” of planning we are finally ready to start construction on our Brownsville Farm site. Above is a prototype of the gorgeous multi-functional bench planters designed by GrowingCities. We built this in a small backyard in Greenpoint, but will be building beds over three times this size on the lot. And we need help!
