Urban Garden on a Chain Link Fence | Lushe

 

this would be great for herbs and wonders like catnip and cat grass and even carrots and beets, and radishes and if a big enough holder potatoes

 

you would have to adjust the 'hanger ' for strength based on what you were growing of course and i wonder if one could find some glass or ceramic or or other non plastic holders - to avoid chemical leaking; aliminum wouldn't rust but i fear the chemical aspect there too

 

perhaps glass jars - held gripped to fence rather than 'tied'

 

i could see velccrose perhaps or perhaps a 'shelf' that would secured to the fence at the posts

 

just think was a nicer view and even wheelchair folks could roll along and pick or plant and harvest and weed

 

of course neighbors and ordinances could thwart this in subdivion in busy body ares

 

but what a way for disabled and elderly and folks with small areas to have a victory garden or a cute lfower garden ... crg

 

Garden on a Chain Link Fence

Jessica Jackson, a senior art student in Carnegie Mellon University's Bachelor of Fine Arts Program, used fence, plastic bottles, wire, soil and seeds to create an inexpensive urban garden.

Jackson's project can be seen hanging in front of vacant lots on Pittsburgh's Forbes Avenue in an effort to spread awareness of the ease and need for urban gardening.

The project originated from Carnegie Mellon Art Professor Joe Mannino's course, "Making Connections: Art In The Community," and Jackson's academic interest in global hunger and food distribution.

Jackson filled empty plastic bottles with soil and seeds and lashed them to the fence to show how easy it is to convert unused space and recycled materials into a sustainable food system for the local community.

Currently the garden holds strawberries, beans, sugar snap peas, radishes, lettuce, arugula, zinnias and other plants.

Pedestrians are welcome to pluck the food from the fence as they pass by, and the extra food produced will be donated to a local food pantry.

Jackson hopes that the project will inspire others to create container gardens around the city, particularly in areas that are have been foreclosed, abandoned or closed off from practical use by chain-link fences.
