Urban Growing??

[ImAJellyTot]

Hi all,

I'm a 3rd Year Product Design student starting my major project.

For this i've chosen to look at the issues associated with growing vegetables and herbs in an urban environment with limited space.

I was just wandering the main reasons that people grow herbs and vegetables, other than the obvious such as, better flavour, money saving, human need to nurture, relaxation etc. ??

Also i was just wandering what the main crops that people like to grow are??

I'm currently looking at existing products which 'solve' the issues related with growing in an urban environment, so if anyone has examples of products that would also be very helpful.


Many thanks in advance for all your help.
