If you’re anywhere near New York City’s Hudson river this summer, make sure you visit Swale, a floating garden of edible plants. An 80 by 30 foot area will sit on top of recycled shipping containers and literally be a floating food forest with fruit trees, herbs, kale, blueberries, gooseberries, huckleberries, and smaller plants like asparagus, cherry tomatoes, yams and greens. The best part? visitors on the vessel will be allowed to harvest their food for free.
“Not only is it a floating urban farm, a pavilion erected on the structure will also serve as home-base for Eco_Hack 2016, “a large-scale eco/social/digital installation and performance series.” The free, month-long gathering will consist of performances, gallery shows and activist meetings, and is open to the public.”
