Environmental Sustainability: Promote recycling by repurposing plastic bottles into productive garden containers.
Community Engagement: Engage volunteers and the community, fostering a sense of ownership and sustainability.
Cost Efficiency: Save on food costs for the feeding scheme while creating a valuable educational resource.
Sustainability: As the project grows, it can generate revenue from selling surplus produce to cover maintenance costs and support other community initiatives.
Outcome: A cost-effective, sustainable plastic bottle garden that provides fresh, nutritious food for a feeding scheme, engages the community, and supports environmental responsibility.
