Exciting news!

We have made a window farm and are taking it to a sustainability festival called START, in London, in September.

I work for a landscape design company called Petherick, Urquhart and Hunt in the UK and we have been asked to make a garden that will show the visitor that gardening and growing edible plants in compromised and urban spaces is both possible, affordable and desirable.

Our Future Cities Garden will be a combination of invention, inspiration, amusement and accessibility. It will be overflowing with seasonal edible fruits, plants, traditional vegetables and edible and medicinal flowers.

The show runs from 9th – 18th of September and the window farm we have built, amongst other green wall displays and kitchen garden display beds, will feature in our garden at the show.

We will obviously be giving full credit to the Window Farms Project for the idea, both at the show and on our website and blog. We are creating some info sheets to take to the show to point people in the direction of http://www.windowfarms.org/ for advice on how to build their own.

We’ll report back on the response we get to the window farm at the show and with some more pictures of the finished window farm in situ.
