Vertical Urban Food Initiative

Here's a little experiment



The school garden had a couple of grow bags over and we also had 6 spare runner bean plants, after planting out the wigwam in the garden.  Put the two together in a public space available right outside the front entrance and what have you got?


A success!


There has been a lot of excitement as the plants grew up the strings.  The strings were cut once but that was soon repaired and the plants have survived to maturity despite being on a public pathway.

Here is a picture when it was in flower:


The wall is south facing but there is the small matter of the school building to the south.
