Planning first entry

DESIGNING THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

In this entry, we want to enumerate some of the aspects that we have needed to take into account. For example, the SPACE. We’ve needed to think carefully where we wanted to put the garden and which characteristics were essential. In our case, we will settle it down in front of the gym door of the school Santísimo Sacramento. 

• LIGHT. The bricks wall has been selected because it will receive the light of the afternoon. 
• ACCESSIBILITY. It is the place between the university and the school what allows us to make a project in collaboration with some classes of the school. It is also next to a water source and a drain. 
• DIMENSIONS. A wall of 7 meters. 

We want to have two kinds of vegetable gardens. One will be vertical, and the other one, horizontal. 

• VERTICAL GARDEN. It is going to be made with pales. In each pale we will put some small bags of net where we will put soil and the plant. 
• HORIZONTAL GARDEN. This one will be made by wooden boxes of fruit. We will take the advantage of the bigger volume to use them for the vegetable that needs more soil as green beans or peppers.

This design answers the necessity of doing it in a sustainable way, by using recyclable materials to take care of the environment. 

That is all we can design before the project is accepted. Let’s hope we get a positive answer on Tuesday. We will keep you informed!
