This greenhouse celebrates the surrounding neighborhood and was built as a learning platform for SW Detroit schools and neighborhood children, to increase food access, and built hand-in-hand with the amazing community residents. CultureVerse worked with Graft Living to create an immersive 3D experience to help teach the world about their amazing work. <a href='https://cultureverse.org/project/graft-living'>Learn more about CultureVerse and our project with Graft Living here</a>.</p>
