Looks like we've got ourselves a good ol' fashioned arms race. Longwood Gardens now has the largest green wall in North America, who's aim for the title next?
-Take an unused mall and combine it with urban agriculture, what do you get? Gardens under glass. On their website they say "nowhere in cleveland is there a project of this nature or magnitude." I don't think there's another city IN NORTH AMERICA with anything like this. So Cleveland is leading the way with this project, will Cleveland do a "full Detroit" ? I think I just coined that phrase. Umm...maybe??? If Cleveland gets a GOP task force, like Detroit did, to champion urban agriculture then...yes. It's official, everyone is pulling for a Detroit recovery now!
But once the gardens are up and running will they be self-sufficient and sustainable???
-And for the truly cutting edge, how about using Foursquare to plot urban foraging stashes throughout your city.
