Project Green Wisdom
Making Urban farming accessible to all seniors but bringing the farm to them.
Urban Farming with Seniors
Why?
The sustainability movement often leaves seniors out. Programs focus on youth, tech, and innovation, sidelining older adults who grew up repairing, reusing, and conserving as daily habits. Their time, wisdom, and community ties are ignored, even though they could model practical, everyday sustainability for others. By overlooking them, the movement misses a vital group with experience and skills that can strengthen lasting change.
Why get involved?
- Occupational function for the seniors
- Phytoremediation benefits for air quality in the centre
- Encourages intergenerational learning and environmental awareness
