Located in Vancouver, the Living Produce Aisle is a storefront shop from Urban Cultivator, a producer of high-tech indoor gardening equipment. The beautiful shopfront is a captivating depiction of Urban Cultivator's product in action, as the space serves up nutritious salads and smoothies using ingredients grown on site. Each dish or drink purchased at the shop is made from ingredients harvested in shop that day.
The Urban Cultivator product range includes hydroponic systems for the home, as well as larger systems for chefs and restaurants. The system is ideal for growing microgreens, vegetables and herbs and features an internal computer that oversees air circulation.
