Thank you! The planter is in Brooklyn put out by the local Food is Free Project there. It was from a couple years ago, so I don't know if it's still there. I'd love to find out!

It'll be great if it is still there and not by itself but with a couple more close to it.
Where else have people placed planters like this. This is awesome
I sure hope it's expanded and multiplied into a few more gardens! The project started as a front yard that then inspired me and my neighbors to line our block in front yard gardens and share the harvest. We used salvaged materials and blogged about our mistakes and successes, open sourcing the vision. Now over 350 cities around the world have started Food is Free Projects, growing and sharing food. We're all learning from each other and sharing inspiration/ideas. :)
no way, I will look to see if there is any in Sacramento CA
Awesome! If not, you can start a Food is Free Project. It all starts with that first front yard or visible community garden. From there, you'll start sparking connections with others and it will evolve and grow. Even just sharing your ideas about where to grow and share food in your community with your neighbors and friends will start conversations that open up doors. Let me know if I can offer any advice along the way!
I will for sure, yeah I was thinking about the planters I can do a little one just right outside our apartment door like a fence for the plants and use some dirt that is there already and have it outside with lots of herbs so other ppl can take too and get the feeling and hopefully get some others going :D
Totally do it! Take a before and after photo from the same spot and then again after it's overflowing with herbs. That would be such a cool thing to see. You will definitely inspire new gardeners and may well connect with some others who would want to lend a hand or offer some seeds/tools/compost. Stay in touch about your ideas!
