Abstract:

A suspended, portable, tilting garden on a frame with a greenhouse and nutrient capturing capabilities solves the issues of poor soil, limited gardening space, portability, limited sunlight and cool temperatures, excess water usage and handicap accessibility. The garden also solves issues of flooding, loss of nutrients, ground pests and rodents. The medium is controlled because there is no walking space needed, allowing growing in the entire surface of the garden. The garden is on wheels so it is fully portable. The garden tilts to take full advantage of the sun and it has a greenhouse cover with passive and active solar heat distribution. Since the garden is raised, it is wheelchair accessible and makes it easy for elderly to stand and garden.
