Wales: introducing Signal Box Farm, bringing vertical growing to Splott

There is a new resident in the BoneYard containers at Railway Gardens: Urban-Vertical CIC. They have just launched a crowdfunder offering everyone the opportunity to be part of their adventure.

Signal Box Farm is a community urban vertical farm and, together with The Green Room next door, it forms a creative and productive hub where their Urban Vertical CIC will grow food and offer community courses and workshops. 

Their project will be housed in two colorful shipping containers at Railway Gardens. The community farm container grows a range of microgreens and salad leaves all year round using vertical farming methods and hydroponic techniques. They supply local restaurants and sell at farmers' markets across Cardiff and The Vale.

Read more on the project and on how to contribute here.
