Cities full of edible walls and rooftops. That would be an ideal future scenario.

What do we do?

HyperGarden aims to make the urban environment resilient and climate adaptive.

We do this based on healthy soil life from composted organic waste, which allows nutritious herbs, fruit, vegetables and fungi to grow.

It also forms a testing ground where radical concepts around regenerative architecture, urban circular horticulture and strategic nutrient supply.

Visie

Why?

How can the limited space in densely populated urban areas be used in the best and healthiest way possible?

And how do you enable as many people as possible to build their own vertical vegetable and herb garden?

These are the principles of HyperGarden.

Realization

How does it work?

All insights gained in recent years are currently being bundled into a publication that serves as a guide and blueprint for further experiments.

We have formulated our current method and approach based on open source and freely accessible knowledge. We are publishing and sharing this knowledge in our wiki.

In collaboration with existing and new partners, we will further develop these methods and realize new test setups.

We believe that by sharing knowledge and information freely with each other, significant steps can be made on a global scale.
