A micro-gardening project in Lebanon

“We, the women of the Bekaa, love being productive and cannot stay idle."

Fayze, a Lebanese widow and mother of five who has recently initiated a “Garden Wall” at her house in the village of Bar Elias, a micro-gardening project implemented by FAO.

Garden walls are a proven technique to grow vegetables and herbs vertically, without using any arable land.
Walls are made from very cheap and readily available material such as used or discarded plastic crates or walls made from recycled plastic. Each crate can be used to plant two consecutive vegetable crops per year and can be used to grow a wide range of summer and winter vegetables that can be harvested throughout the year.
