The RHS gave us the opportunity to showcase an indoor food forest to their wide audience within the heritage site of their iconic Lindley Hall. Under the lights, the varied tiered layers of edimentals were highlighted and the permaculture principles explained.

A range of edible mushrooms were grown specifically for the project and showcased to promote the exciting new wave of interest in mycelium and urban farming.
