Here is the functioning model of our produce box in the works. We have got the structure together but have
not put the finishing touches on it quite yet. Our final design of the container will be slightly different; it will
be more stylized like the plastic milk crate container. We plan to put the side panel graphics on the side of
the box and also we plan to prime the MDF and then paint it in a more plastic looking brown.
These are some shots of us working on the final model.
This is the hydroponic system that Greensgrow currently uses as a sort of demonstration piece.
Here’s a rendering of our final brackets. We chose to go with a fleur de lis insignia, but conceivably it could be any shape as long as it has the two hooks for hanging the troughs and the tab for mounting in wet mortar.
so this bracket is ready to install on any surface.
and this bracket shows that the tab can be modified to be integrated into any building material, be it brick and mortar or even prefab panels

These are a couple of ideas we have been thinking of for our produce container
side panels that were inspired by the vintage produce crates.
We’ve found a few great sponsers for our project, including this awesome Philadelphia based company called Greenable.
Greenable is an excellent resource for interior and exterior green building materials. They have everything from paint to countertops made out of recycled detergent bottles and they do everything from a green roof installation to an entire design project.
