"The Rahma Clinic is a new resource for Syracuse providing free health care services at 3100 South Salina St. An important part of health is nutrition and healthy eating; . . .
it is a well known fact that the southside of Syracuse currently does not have a grocery store providing fresh produce and healthy food choices, and is commonly referred to as a food desert. Young and old are often tasked with finding food options at local corner stores, which often specialize in pre-packaged sugar laden snacks and processed “foods”. More healthy food options are needed for southside residents and visitors.
This project will integrate perennial edible landscaping into the urban fabric showcasing: > Use of perennial plant species to reduce annual maintenance of propagation, cultivation and planting needs > Use of native species and ground covers to reduce watering needs > Use of multi-story design to utilize vertical growing space without expensive built infrastructure > Use of diverse plant products for self-mulching and self-fertilizing (maintenance of site integrity)."
