Growing Groceries Indoors
For this commercial project at Lakeside Village, we invited Nature indoors, and created three distinct installations. Cedar bench seats double as self-watering raised beds, complete with integrated worm composting and bench seating. We chose the beautiful Calamondin Orange tree to be the centrepiece of these bench-seat buffets, as it is prized as an edible bonsai tree, and is the healthiest indoor citrus species. To supplement the harvest and provide for the kitchen, we installed a cascading Kitchen Herbs shelf, and a Micro-Greens growing station. Micro-Greens provide a year-round harvest, and according to a University of Maryland study, they contain anywhere between 3 and 39 times the nutrient density of mature plants!
