About The Fertile Underground Program:

Since 2009, Fertile Underground has made gardens in vacant lots, backyards, porches, farmland, windowsills, rooftops and sidewalk strips. Accompanying the newly constructed grocery store, will be a mobile food truck/kitchen that will travel the neighborhood, bringing affordable, healthy food options, grown from local urban gardens.
