2. Mobile greenhouses
Milwaukee Environmental Sciences Academy, a charter school in Milwaukee, created a mobile greenhouse that supplies produce to the community and the school’s cafeteria. The greenhouse was crafted by a local construction company free of charge (a local architect created the design). The greenhouse houses growing seedlings, which are replanted in raised garden beds at the school as they mature.
The greenhouse, which is hitched to a trailer, also acts as a mobile market supplying fresh vegetables, herbs and spices to the surrounding community. Leftover produce is used in the school cafeteria’s salad bar.
