The Vertical Hydroponic Garden is designed to help promote urban gardening and the integration of living plants into interior spaces. Its function-forward and aesthetically pleasing design enables people to harness their own green thumb in a modern and exciting new way while also providing the benefits of a healthier living environment. The system connects people on a personal level, with the ability to grow their own healthy house plants, fresh fruits and veggies, as well as herbs in their homes, offices and public spaces using hydroponics, one of the most energy efficient and sustainable growing practices in use today.
Vertical hydroponics is a soilless method of growing plants that is one of the most energy, waste and cost efficient methods in existence. Hydroponics enables plants to grow faster and healthier while yielding higher quantities in a year-round growing cycle. This far exceeds any traditional method of agricultural production and is considered to be one of the most sustainable agriculture technologies of the future.
The Vertical Hydroponic Garden harnesses hydroponic technology to create a healthier growing environment for plants to thrive. An energy efficient air pump, concealed within the structure, distributes water from an internal reservoir up to the top planter tier. The unique design then uses gravity to deliver water to each of the subsequent planter pods. A soilless medium such as clay rocks is used in each pod, thus eliminating the risk of soil-borne diseases. The system also provides easy access to test the pH levels and add nutrients to the water, giving greater control over providing the most ideal growing conditions.
Making vertical hydroponic gardens more accessible to people in their everyday living environments is the future of urban living and design.
