We were excited to help open a new Agroforest Demonstration Garden Dec 15th at the Majuro Hospital. This was the culmination of a broad project aimed at increasing access to fresh produce in the islands.
The Agroforest was developed by partners LDS Charities, Canvasback Wellness Center and Taiwan Farms.
Besides being a site that the Wellness Center can use to train gardeners, it will also provide space for healthy cooking demonstrations and a quiet green space that hospital patients can enjoy.
LDS Charities provided technical expertise on garden design and plants, some labour, park benches, solar lighting and plaques describing plants.
Agroforestry is a system where trees and shrubs are grown around other crops to create more diverse, productive and sustainable land use.
