Going Green on Rice Street

Brothers Dylan Terry (right) and Ruy Arango spent all day yesterday installing an edible garden at the new Arquitectonica building on Rice and Oak, which is returning to its roots, no pun intended.

There are herbs, fruits and more, all along the Rice Street side of the building. This plant at left is a pineapple plant. It all smells so good as you walk by because of the herbs, but once the fruit trees and other plants start to flower, it will be an incredible place.

Dylan owns Ready to Grow Gardens, an "edible garden experience." His main product, raised bed gardens, work best in South Florida because of the thin, alkaline soil.

We wrote recently about this area of the Grove, around the Mayfair Promenade and Rice, Florida and Oak, which is turning into quite a Bohemian place. To add to the livability of the area, the Workout Spot gym is expanding into the former location of the Miami Conservatory of Music on the corner of Oak and Rice and of course the Conservatory is at the Mayfair Promenade now, which is part of the little Bohemian neighborhood. In the early evenings, gym members work out on the sidewalk across the street, adding a lot of life to the area.

Dylan just installed a garden in LeBron James' new neighborhood at Hughes Cove. We heard it's a done deal and LeBron is definatly moving in.
