Edible Watertown is an interdisciplinary project that promotes awareness of the local environment and its ecosystems. Edible Watertown aims to connect people with the environment right outside their door through community engagement, and the artistic and scientific exploration of plants in the public spaces of Watertown. Community connections created by this local initiative, in response to the global issue of climate change, will encourage us all to be better stewards of the environment. As a result, improvements to local green spaces, parks and schoolyards will return the benefits of healthy food and the healing properties of access to nature.
