Product, Service, System


Rational                                      

This product is a fresh take on the popular vertical garden concept. It will be implemented in to urban, apartment living environments. The garden is located in communal areas and will be shared by all residents.

The gardens bi folding form and modular pot system encourages the residents to manipulate the components to suit their communities needs. The garden can be lowered or heightened using a threaded  jack, this determines how many pots can be implemented. The lowered garden is ideal for children and the elderly. 

Furthermore in contrast to the typical vertical garden this garden is double sided. This allows garden users to surround the garden, making gardening more socially interactive.  Once installed the residents can connect to the linked webpage. After signing up and registering they are welcome to access, information on maintaining their garden and are also encouraged to share photos, videos and recipes related to their garden. This webpage connects urban garden users to create an online community.

The system uses less water than traditional gardening techniques, through recycling its own water. It does this through mimicking 'herons' fountain theory. Where by water flows in to the reservoir (1), the air this water replaces is pushed in the reservoir (2) which furthermore pushes the water from this reservoir  into the upwards piping which than will re filter from the top reservoir onto the plants.

This PSS will play a part in preventing mental illness through the enrichment of the social connections between urban residents and online social web. It will promote a healthy diet through the production of organic, fresh produce and the access to healthy recipes. The wall will lastly encourage consumers to challenge them self to learn and develop new skills relating to the garden and the food being produced using the walls produce.
