Do you guys accept donations for something like modular planter boxes or raised beds? We'd like to help out. We really love what you're doing.

OK, I think this is a very interesting experiment, particularly in the USA which needs to revive its run down and economically depressed areas. I think there will be a lot to learn from the 20 families partaking in this experiment.

There is a philosophical concept called the 'broken window' effect. If there is a broken window in a run down area and this is not fixed, it encourages more windows to be broken. If it is repaired, there is not this same response. Keep up the good work!!

We see the reality of the broken window effect play out everyday. The little things go so far, for good or bad. We are loving it.
