Pickup Garden

Pickup Garden FARM HOME Miscellaneous 33-5-5 Here's an eye-catching idea that might help bring in business to a roadside vegetable stand or a farmer's market. Or you might just want to impress your friends and family. Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney converted the bed of an old Dodge pickup into a mobile garden, growing tomatoes, basil, lettuce, chard, and more. They drive the truck around New York City, demonstrating to kids and adults that you can grow your own food in many more places than most people think possible. You can see a video of the educational project here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSFJPqzJp8M&feature=related.
