I'm developing a program ("Sprouts") to provide disadvantaged school aged children K-12 an opportunity to grow fresh produce in their homes (on a deck if available or inside under grow lights if natural light is limited). The combination of education and nutrition is a win/win. The plan is to adapt the Square Foot Garden model of intensive/dense gardening to a free standing garden bed. Specifically, I'm planning to use the City Picker Raised Bed Grow Box unless experienced gardeners have a better suggestion. The grow bed has to be durable, inexpensive, portable, and easy to assemble.
I am NOT an experienced gardener, so I'm reaching out to you for advice on: (i) top 10 easy to grow DWARF veggies for an indoor garden; and (ii) alternative free standing garden beds for consideration.
Thank you from me and all the kids who will benefit from your experience. Once this program gets going...fingers crossed...we'll teach the kids to adapt other types of containers for their use,
