Quarantine Gardening
Mission Statement
Our goal is to promote wellness in the world by inspiring people to grow vegetables at home. You can grow a single plant or start a big garden; we just want you to try something new. In today's newly emerging home-centeric lifestyle, we want people to notice that gardening is a great activity for everyone and their community!
Problem Statement - A
The coronavirus pandemic caused shutdowns of meat processing factories, and it is unknown how long they will be affected. With the pandemic affecting all sectors of the economy, it is crucial for us to start adapting to change. It is a possibility that meat products will become expensive, so we should shift more towards plant-centered cuisine.
Problem Statement - B
The new lifestyle in quarantine has impacted people's mental health in many ways. Social distancing, remote work, self reflection -- we all experienced a huge shift in daily life. Dealing with this change is not easy, and we should motivate each other for our wellness in life.
Meet the Team
To understand the benefits and challenges of home-gardening, each of us researched and committed to growing our own vegetables. With our personal experiences, we strive to motivate everyone to try new things.

Our Class
This project was planted by Pete Schwartz's class on "Appropriate Technology for the World's People: Design".
The projects in his class have the goal of using today's technology to positively influence the world's people.
In this time of day with virtual classes, we thought that the best we could do is to influence people over the web and social media.
