One of the professionals I contacted is Dolores Atlin, from Evergreen. Evergreen is a national non-profit environmental organization which promotes sustainable living in 3 aspects - public space community development, school ground developments, and home landscape.
Dolores is one of the Learning Grounds professional consultants located in Vancouver area. I first approached her hoping to obtain some simple suggestions and research directions for my project. Dolores was extremely helpful and generous. I was very grateful for the fact that she called personally to provide verbal feedback and suggestions despite of her hectic schedule.
The image above is an example of a mini-size urban agriculture using the theory of capillary action provided by Dolores. The drainage pipe acts as a rain water collection system for the plants. It's shows a different way to re-think about how plants may be implemented in an urban space.
