This project uses the existing asset of the pedestrian bridge to engage Franklin High School students in cultivating companion vegetables in modular planters. The bridge can become a public balcony garden for the Mt. Baker Hub area, stewarded by community members. Due to the site’s visibility to both pedestrian and motorized traffic, this repeatable intervention can act as a symbol for the neighborhood, becoming a point of interest.
