Quest Alliance and team want to create a learning observatory and makerspace for all things regenerative with the aim of being carbon neutral. They are exploring sustainable alternative solutions for Building, Water & Energy to create closed loops within the space.
With this in mind they approach Ananas to create an interactive permaculture community garden that supported the growth of a Forest Garden, Re-yse Grey water in the landscape, integrate the usage food and garden waste, Demonstrate what permaculture through design principles and involve the community of QA and Malhar in the implementation through volunteering days. The idea was also to showcase the possibility of growing food within an urban space. Quest Alliance visioned for the garden to be a space where the community could access regular gardening, encouraged exchange of knowledge (skills, ideas etc.) & resources (seeds, saplings, tools etc.)
