Horticutural therapy...in space

I know it seems as if I post an aquaponics story nearly every day; what can I say, the industry is bananas right now! Here's the latest on the Sweet Water Organics saga. A few folks wanted to buy what was left after it closed, but everyone passed, it seems some equipment has gone missing and no utilities are at the site. How did that happen?

-In Denver, Colorado a bicycle powered organization is doing its best to reduce food waste, a problem around the world. In the last 18 months they have rescued and delivered over 250,000 pounds of food to those in need!

-Next year Toronto could be looking at its first large green wall, if officials listen to a community group who prefer it to the normal sound barriers.

-Earlier this week I'd made the resolution to place a greater focus on integrating horticultural therapy practices into all of our projects. This article is a wonderful primer for how I, and you, can do that.

-Looking way down the line, researchers across North America are involved with ways to grow food in space...and use them for horticulturally theraputic measures as well. If dreams of a colony on Mars are one day a reality, people are going to need every type of relaxation technique that they can get their hands on.
