VIDEO: Vertical Garden-to-Table for Half Moon Bay Seniors (Part II)
Seniors eat freshly-harvested vegetables in their daily meal, thanks to a wall garden installed right outside the Coastside Adult Day Health Center.
Thanks to a vertical wall garden installed earlier this year, seniors enrolled in Half Moon Bay's are able to enjoy freshly-harvested, nutrient-rich vegetables in their daily lunches.
The wall garden was installed and built by INKA Biospheric Systems, a San Francisco-based social enterprise company funded by Pescadero's TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation.
TomKat Ranch donated the garden to the Coastside Adult Day Health Center earlier this year.
