Garden Fresh Home
URBN STEAMlab and GARDEN FRESH HOME were founded by Dr. Shivanthi Anandan and D.S. Nicholas in 2012, with a focus on Urban Sustainable Living and green space in the urban environment. Our work is patented with two low-impact growing units for underserved urban families without access to fresh food. This project integrates evidence-based design and fundamental research processes in science into the research of green space and food production within the home.
