Grow me a Sandwich!

A Charlestown community coup d’etat

A sandwich-space represents a new type of social- economical urban space where a variety of stakeholders could equally get a piece of the sandwich by engaging in the practices of growing, maintaining, harvesting, cooking, and distributing the edible landscape. What is a community garden? And what does it take to make it productive enough to feed a group of people? Finally, what are the possible profiles of a lively garden around which all of the daily activities could take part? Eating should be considered a social practice that interconnects with systems of provision and that involves both people preparing food produce, those transforming that food into meals, and the shared experience of eating a meal. By constructing a walkable, lively, food-sufficient community under extreme weather, we shout with fulfillment, ‘Grow me a sandwich!’

This is the food reality of charlstown, in the summer days affected by the heat island effect, it is difficult for people to get cheap and healthy food in places other than wholefood, and the lack of any community–driven programs and green streetscape make it more difficult for people to stay. The family-based community is isolated from one another.
Eating should be considered a social practice that interconnects with systems of provision and that involves both people preparing food produce, those transforming that food into meals, and the shared experience of eating a meal. From indoor meal prep to outdoor woundering, we want to capture all of the activities and opportunities that resdents are able to exposing themslves to edible gardens.
