USA (MA): A Garden Takes Root At Boston’s Museum of Science
Green City Growers is partnering with the Museum of Science Boston and Freight Farms to create a window into how food can be grown in an urban setting. The Freight Farm unit, called The Garden, installed at the Museum of Science will have a window so museum-goers can watch the magical process of hydroponic growing and see the technology at work. "We see urban farming, in demonstration projects like the MOS as the future of agriculture as we learn to grow more gardens, in more places, and at the same time use fewer valuable resources," says Green City Growers' CEO Christopher Grallert. "We are thrilled to be in partnership with the Museum of Science and Freight Farms. I can't wait til I can watch kids' faces light up when they peer through the window and watch seeds become food," Grallert continues.

Green City Growers will tend The Garden, visiting the unit twice weekly to make sure that everything is growing well, and the produce is healthy. Green City Growers was invited into the partnership because of their history of success with hydroponic growing. The MOS indoor unit Freight Farm is state-of-the- art, smaller and one of only four Freight Farm installations in the United States that incorporates a viewing window.
