Hi, I’m Britta, the founder of the Windowfarms Project. I am working as fast as I can with the team to get this project to the point of being self-sustaining financially so that we can quickly take on work with schools. In the meantime, you guys can help us by building windowfarms in your schools and telling us how it goes. Consider yourselves windowfarms education pioneers!
One of my interns told me he does not eat anything that does not come out of a package when he first started with us. Now that he has been maintaining our experimental windowfarm at the shop and feeding the plants himself, I see him nibbling off the the lettuce and basil sometimes. A small victory, perhaps, but I think we’ve got a winner because he is having fun and twitters about the windowfarm! If you have more stories like this, they really help us understand where to focus. We are trying to get windowfarms into these kids’ homes so that it is a family experience with the parents involved. If you have any more tips, tricks, or suggestions, please share them here. New, simplified instructions and a modular system coming soon with version 3.0 how-to release!
