Grow Your Own Window Farm!
Want to grow your own greens but don’t have an outdoor space? The Window Farms Project started in 2009 by Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray for an artists’ residency at NYC’s Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology and has grown from PDF directions of how to build an entire farm yourself to available kits, assembled by The Mid-Hudson Workshop for the Disabled, for purchase on the website. You can grow up to 25 different vegetable plants including lettuce, herbs, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, peppers, kale, small squash, edible flowers, etc. in your regular window. Depending on whether you buy all the materials and build it from scratch or if you invest in a kit installation time varies from about 10 to 3 hours. This is a great way to keep your veggie and fruit eating local as well as add some plant-love to your apartment. You can go here to get directions for the different versions (from two to four+ rows). Rock that fall harvest!
