Our Vertical Gardening Initiative:

Nicaragua lies within the "Dry Corridor" which endures severe annual droughts, making consistent crop production nearly impossible. For communities like La Calle Real, dry seasons mean failed harvests and food insecurity.

In partnership with La Calle Real, we developed the Vertical Gardening Initiative, where we alongside the community and partners have developed a cost effective gardening solution which is far more water efficient and minimises evaporation. We developed and tested a number of designs in our studio in Tempe Arizona before traveling to La Calle Real, Nicaragua to teach the local community about how these work, hold workshops for building the designs, and actually bringing our initial round of 12 vertical gardens to local homes for implementation. After months of usage by these families we recieved incredible feedback and reviews. People effectively have been able to grow many rounds of crops in these gardens, as well as keeping the plants out of reach of many critters that eat their other crops. Since this initial implementation Pathways to Prosperity has since helped us to install more of these gardens in families homes.

At this point we have established working designs in the community. All further funding for this project will go directly towards building more gardens. A donation of of $60 buys a pipe long enough for building 10 vertical gardens. We will also send you pictures of the vertical gardens when they are built and installed.
