What are window farms ?

Welcome to our blog.We hope you will be informed and encouraged to create a Window farm.This idea deals with a possible solution to food scarcity.Everybody can have a window garden.



You may ask what is a window farm ?

A window farm is ideally a little garden in water bottles that is close to windows so that it can use the light to grow. Britta Riley first created a window farm when she moved into an apartment in New York.She saw that she didn't have enough space to have a garden on her balcony and she didn't want to create a mess in her apartment from the soil.She encourages the greater community to create these gardens through her website.  People in various cities throughout the world have embarked on her plan and made a variety of different window gardens, many networking and improving their designs.  The map of all the cities throughout the world taking on this program is exciting and gives hope for possible food security.
Watch her TED talk as she explains Window farms and how they work.
