Griffin, Georgia
Working with Project South in Griffin, Georgia, this project works to increase regional food stability by creating a teaching farm. The program remediates land recently damaged by tornadoes with the introduction of a new walking path, three small greenhouse-based structures, and a future proposal for a small patch of agricultural land, building on the existing community farm model used by Project South at their main building in Atlanta. Each greenhouse is designed to meet different community needs. 

   





Greenhouse 1, at the north, is an small open-air trellis for climbing plants and acts as a resting point on the path.
Greenhouse 2, center, functions as a typical greenhouse space, seeding the plants in the cold harsher months and acting as a full-time herb garden and teaching space.
Greenhouse 3, south, is almost completely enclosed with windowed views to the small lake on the property, functioning primarily as a flex education space for workshops.



Accompanying the design is a 40 page agricultural research booklet detailing best practices for planting diverse and regionally appropriate crops to achieve year round harvesting.

The site as a whole is conceptualized as a structure for support both for the nonprofit and the local communities. Housing food stores, rotating crops and serving as a place to teach food security in the urban environment of nearby Atlanta, with workshops on urban gardening like  utilizing offcuts of produce to fill window box planters.
