This teams crazy good idea, ‘The Veggie Project’, is a mobile community garden initiative that sets up accessible gardens around Australia using repurposed rainwater tanks. In addition to the gardens, the project includes a transportable kitchen where the public can learn how to turn fresh produce into delicious meals. Further, the project’s mascots, Bob the Broccoli and Kevin the Carrot, will help educate and engage people throughout the experience.

As a smart place to start, this team will host an event that involves setting up a local community garden and celebrating its launch by inviting a food truck that uses local produce in its meals. The event will help educate the community about the benefits of fresh, local produce even before the garden starts bearing fruit, promoting sustainability and healthy eating habits.
