FEATURE - Im umfunktionierten Doppeldecker-Bus gibt's jetzt frische Kräuter
The floors are lined with pot plants, tomato vines and coriander leaves. Hanging baskets swing from the handrails and the driver’s seat is blanketed in a green layer of mint, basil and thyme. Upstairs, the deck is filled with a fine, ultrasonic mist. This is no ordinary double decker, though. This is the Farmbus, a new sustainable urban farm for the capital housed inside a converted red London bus. It opened last week at Mercato Metropolitano in Elephant and Castle, and it’ll be open throughout the summer as a pick-your-own farm and plant shop. Pictured are co-founders of the project Hugo Horlick and Sam Cox with the Farmbus. Cox, previously an architect, teamed up with plant scientist Horlick to create Rootlabs, a company looking at innovative growing systems in urban environments. The Farmbus is their first project.
