Field Trip Fridays.. Yeah! But not before a few chores in the garden.... I can't think of a better way to spend the first Friday of the Summer. :)
Today we visited The Plant, an inspiring model of urban agriculture in nearby Back of the Yards. While gardeners were quiet on the tour, they later said they really enjoyed the tour, with favorite parts being "seeing the plants growing on the rooftop Urban Canopy" and "the worms".
Alex P, CEO of the Urban Canopy, was kind enough to arrange a Friday tour; although the Plant was officially closed, there was a lot of excitement, with remodeling and growing happening throughout. A living factory, the plant never rests, I suppose.
