Window Garden by Danese

The Window Garden is a flexible and beautiful system of irrigation

Our cities, houses and diets have to become greener. Before vegetables and herbs in the supermarkets end up on our dining table, they are farmed, sprayed for pesticides, harvested, packed, transported to the shop, and finally consumed without much real green taste left. We wish to contribute to this movement by designing an adaptable system for our buildings and homes, which can help make our life in our cities greener.

Let’s release the potential of Window Gardening: In the last couple of years we have been testing a home planting system for growing vegetables and herbs in windows all year around – The Window Garden.

The Window Garden is a flexible system which allows the user to choose the size and complexity of the watering system. The Window Garden pot has been designed as a new type of flower pot which has an internal water reservoir that eliminates the need for a saucer.

In our Window Garden the vegetables and herbs go straight from the farming pots to the cooking pots. The pot can be used in a variation of setups in the following configurations:

Single Window Garden – One or more pots which can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall. Table Window Garden – Three pots mounted on a small stand used for herbs in the kitchen. Suspended Window Garden – Five pots which can be hung from a ceiling or any window frame. Self standing Window Garden – Seven pots mounted on a stand used freestanding and can be placed everywhere. Wall Window Garden – Hundreds of pots mounted on a steel net used as shading in the windows or room dividers.”
