People who live in apartments or even in the artic don’t have the ability to grow their own foods. Well Jamie Byron and Gabe Blanchet saw this as a problem that didn’t have a direct solution. The idea started during their senior year at MIT when Jamie had built an indoor aquaponic garden. Jamie and Gabe used this to grow their own greens, fruits, herbs, etc.
Jamie and Gabe
They set off for the challenge of making these indoor aquaponic gardens, which would be named Grove Labs, attractive enough that it would be home décor with a purpose. The Grove Labs aren’t just a way for people to grow gardens in their homes, it promotes healthy living and helps the earth! Way to go Jamie Byron and Gabe Blanchet!
If you are wondering if that is a fish tank at the bottom… it is!!!
Love this! I think it’s great that they are not only solving the problem of people not being able to grow their own foods because of climate or limited space, but at the same time promotes a healthy lifestyle! You can’t go wrong!
An awesome need that has seemed to have been solved by these two entrepreneurs! Being able to grow your own food and control some of the food you consume is a great plus that many people are not currently or restrained from taking advantage of. Great market to enter!
This is really cool. I think that the idea of making them into a decorative furnishing is the best part. They could make the units adaptable and the customer could create all kinds of organic cube designs. I think that this also frees us so much space in people’s yards, and gives people without access to outdoor planting the opportunity to garden in the comfort of their living room.
This is a great idea! Even for people with homes and property that are able to grow gardens, this is so much more convenient and provides a cool and unique type of feature in your home!
This is SUCH a great idea!! I know that I would definitely be interested in purchasing something like this myself. I love how they incorporated design into their innovation.
