The installation of the garden box at the Consulate aims to inspire the Filipino community in Hawaii to embrace the use of natural microbes in the soil to grow healthier produce and use gardening as a tool to improve mental health.
The Farmacy Garden box is a pre-built, self-contained system created by Mountain View Farms to produce sustainable, chemical-free, and nutrient-dense food. More information may be found at https://www.mountainviewfarms808.com. (END)
