The Garden of Hearts: Growing Together in the Heart of the Neighborhood
In the heart of Crescent Ville, a quiet neighborhood with tree-lined streets and cozy homes, lay a forgotten lot.

Unfortunately, climate change and growing consumption are depleting even that small fraction at an alarming rate. As a result of this disturbing shortage, other countries have opted for expensive methods to process part of the salty water for domestic use.
