This photo shows what a Vertical Oyster Garden (VOG) looks like after it’s been soaking in our bay for two years, compared to a VOG just about to be deployed. Look at all the oyster growth! Earlier today, my neighbors and I put out two dozen VOGs undeneath a community dock where we live. Those are in addition to the three dozen we put out two years ago. In Sarasota Bay, we not only need to reduce our watershed nutrient loads, we have to increase the assimilative capacity of our bay. One way to do that is to hang VOGs under docks and piers. If they don’t touch the bottom, then you don’t need a permit. The SBEP works with our partners to collect oyster shells from seafood restaurants, “age” the shells, and then use volunteers to construct the VOGs so that they are ready to deploy. That way, HOAs or individuals can collect them for free, and hang them (we just used rope) themselves. If you can’t hang them yourself, we have folks who will do that for you (at a minimum cost). So proud of my neighbors who helped in this deployment, which brings us to 60 VOGs. Which sounds great - until I found out we have a HOA in Sarasota that is looking to put out 600 VOGs! But that’s what the bay needs - more to be done, more quickly. #sarasotabay #oysters

Fantastic to see new parklets cropping up in Fitzroy, years after the pandemic. This one's a solid progression on the hasty ones of 2021, for three reasons: - high quality finishes - real trees - very welcoming to sit in for free when the restaurant is closed. Amazing work by Rocco's, here on Gertrude St. So many dining spaces instead of storage for one private car. I see a few future frontiers for parklet programs: - De- paving these spots pre-build, and doing the planting in-ground, for proper tree growth - Adding WSUD (stormwater interception) to help avoid localised flooding in cloudbursts - Setting permit prices right to encourage uptake (we're so generous to cars, by comparison) - Adding a splash of understorey planting for pollinators and native birds. #urbandesign #parking #placemaking Nice work Yarra City Council!

Detroit is repurposing vacant land and abandoned spaces to expand its urban agriculture and culinary scene. Along East Warren Avenue, restaurants such as Baobab Fare are set to bring Burundian cuisine, including roasted goat and spiced coffee, to the area. In Core City, Vesper Books and Wine is transforming a historic Detroit Savings Bank branch into a new venue featuring wine, beer, and curated book selections. The city’s urban agriculture movement is supported by over 2,500 farms and gardens, facilitated by organizations like Keep Growing Detroit , which provides resources such as seeds, soil tests, and training. Many local restaurants, including Ladder 4 Wine Bar and Takoi, are integrating fresh produce from nearby urban farms into their menus. Detroit’s agricultural efforts recently advanced with the passage of an Animal Keeping Ordinance, legalizing the raising of chickens, ducks, and bees within city limits.

How to Grow Brussels Sprouts: Helpful Tips

N E W S Y D N E Y F I S H M A R K E T 🐠 Ever been to the *real* Sydney fish markets? Do you know the one? The one under the public one. The one you go to at 6am, bleary eyed, crushing ice under your feet ready to bid on something delicious? The markets represent a network of over 200 fishing cooperatives all over and beyond NSW. So you can enjoy eating that sustainably sourced yellow fin tuna too. Curiously, their global bidding system is based on the Dutch clock auction (since 1989) because who knew - the point in time market value of tulips and seafood share a lot in common. Interesting right? Lots. To. Love. Well… things are just about to get even more exciting, because the market is moving to it’s new home down the road! All your faves are moving too, with loads of public space to sit and chill in the sunshine, while still dodging seagulls. And you know those awesome markets behind the markets I was talking about? Well you’ll be able to see the operations from your morning walk, ride or run from Bridge Road pedestrian viewing windows. Sydney saturdays are about to get a whole lot better… #sydney #localeconomies
