Now in its sixth year, the Green Visions program has installed an 800 Sq. ft. shipping container at the Green Visions Campus at 174 Whitney Street in the Josana neighborhood. The container has been completely retrofitted by Ikoniq a Canandaigua-based company that creates top-of-the-line carts, kiosks, and containers for many of the country's largest stadiums, concert halls, and amusement parks. The Green Visions' container was designed to be used as a complete floral design workspace — with flower cooling room and tool room — and received financial support from the Allyn's Creek Garden Club, the Rochester Garden Club, and the August Foundation. "The Green Visions shipping container is a huge step forward in helping to manage the program's consistent flower bouquet production and delivery. It is a first for the City of Rochester and serves as a model of alternative programming space for other grassroots neighborhood programs." Says Lisa Baron, Board Chair of Greentopia.
