“Phytoremediation is the practice of using certain plants to ‘clean-up’ soil, meaning certain plants will bioaccumulate contaminants/heavy metals such as lead and arsenic, which are then disposed of at the end of the year, thereby removing contaminants safely & cheaply, (albeit slowly) while beautifying.
The ‘group’ is Keep Western New York Beautiful, which is the organization that ReTree is apart of and that Grassroots Gardens has worked closely with throughout the past. Our last board president, Jim Pavel, is still the president of this organization. And he is the one that cut us the check for the entire website.”
