In real life and in virtual reality, The Better World Museum works to live up to its name

fd73cf74-d3bc-4f85-b33c-3938db677c85.sized-1000x1000Community outreach is one of the Better World Museum’s top priorities. The museum hosts events regularly, from VR yoga and participatory murals to karaoke and live DJs.

The museum’s latest community-focused endeavor is called “Garden One.” Dansinger describes it as an indoor edible garden, hoping it will be a resource that sparks community building and educates people about edible plants.

“The idea is that anyone in the community may participate in growing, eating, harvesting and sharing,”  Dansinger said.

Of course, there is also a VR component. The spherical garden, crafted from wood, has been recreated in a VR parallel universe using Dansinger’s favorite VR-compatible app “Tilt Brush.”
