Urban Allotments – Perfect after treking Hyde Park

You spend all day Sunday trekking the outer-reaches of Hyde Park and the hidden worlds of the Natural History Museum, then get home, fancy a salad because it’s healthy and realise because you live in a city you don’t have a garden and the shop’s shut.

Sound familiar? If so, we might have the solution in an ingenious contraption called the Sky Planter from a Urban Allotments. An offer for this dropped into our inbox this morning which is how we found out about it – details shortly.

Essentially it’s a plastic pot either suspended from the ceiling or fixed to a wall and allows you to grow lettuce and other similar green veg upside down inside your house or apartment. You simply water every 2 weeks, pick the leaves and hey presto, your own garden in the kitchen.

Main details for the Sky Planter.
