Figure 7. Handles, storage boxes, and components of the carts that required human hands to operate were made with local cypress and materials that invited touch. Handles have the Latin names of medicinal plants carved into them, a small invitation into conversations about the plants’ common name and medicinal properties. Counter surfaces and cutting boards are made of Skatelite, an antimicrobial and durable product more typically used in skate park surfacing.
