💕🥬 🍆🍅 Today’s super fast morning harvest for lunch, between errands, meetings and other obligations. 💕⭐️ 🏢 🥬 That’s one of the golden advantages of hyper-locally grown food. ❓🤔 What will I do with it? I’m not sure yet and won’t have time to think about it too much before I get to the kitchen. It will no doubt be fast & simple in execution. That’s an advantage of fresh, diverse ingredients. No fuss required…the flavours will speak for themselves. 🥗🍳Some will be eaten raw, some cooked. There will surely be a bit of chop, chop, chop, a bit of a sauté and probably some more tomatoes. I also still have some Perennial Buckwheat Greens, some Apple Mint and a cucumber that was harvested a couple of days ago. #jamminginthekitchen ❓What would you do with this little urban bounty? 💕🥬🌺 Grown in the Root Cause Rooftop Crate Garden, an Educational garden in urban ❤️🌱 Montreuil, East-Paris (the edge is where it’s at!), France. @root_cause_permaculture 🌿 🏢 🌺 👀 Visitors of all ages get an opportunity to get right up close to observe and interact with a large diversity of plants, right here in the city.

🌿 Green Success - Our client Shaiju speaks!🌿 A garden isn't just a collection of plants—it’s a living, breathing oasis that brings peace, joy, and sometimes, a sense of pride. For some, it’s their sanctuary for mental well-being; for others, it’s a cherished hobby or even their greatest accomplishment. But it’s more than just beauty; there's a science to nurturing a garden to ensure it flourishes as much as it soothes. At Biotech Maali, we understand that gardens should be inviting not just for you but for the plants themselves. With the right setup, every garden—big or small—can thrive. Recently, we had the pleasure of transforming Shaiju's space into a green haven, and his joy knew no bounds! His heartfelt appreciation and eagerness to recommend us to friends and family is exactly what fuels us. 🌱 If your terrace, balcony, or garden space holds a special place in your heart, let’s work together to make it a source of pride for you. After all, the best way to go green is to surround yourself with greenery, no matter how small. #GreenSuccess #GardenTransformation #UrbanGardening #BalconyGarden #GoGreen #GardenOasis #ProudPlantParent #BiotechMaali

What if every home in the Maldives had its own small indoor garden? It could make a huge difference in national food security. Take Cuba’s Urban Agriculture Movement as an inspiring example. In the 1990s, during a food crisis, the Cuban government stepped up by providing seeds, tools, education, and technical support to empower citizens to grow their own food. By the 2000s, 70% of Havana’s fresh vegetables came from urban gardens. Imagine if the Maldivian government introduced a gamified system—rewards and challenges to inspire people to grow their own food. A simple, fun way to boost food security and sustainability! #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #GreenFuture #UrbanFarming
