PHOENIX -- Earth Day was officially Sunday, but for the D-backs, their concern for environmental sustainability is a year-round priority.
On Sunday, the organization harvested the D-backs Greens Urban Garden, presented by UnitedHealthCare, which is a vertical garden visible to both fans and commuters on the exterior of the ballpark.
In collaboration with Flower Street Urban Gardens, the D-backs added D-backs Greens at the end of last year. It became the first vertical garden in Major League Baseball.
When they harvest the plants in the garden, the D-backs and UnitedHealthcare work with local schools to involve children in the process to help teach kids about how they can grow their own fruits and vegetables at home.
