Dan grows indoor and outdoors to provide food for himself and Roux restaurant, Parliament Square, London, where he works as a chef. The main crops they grow are cress, fennel, red and green mustard, corriander and nasturtium for the restaurant, plus many more for himself. As you can see from the photos his garden, diner and ultility room are bursting with life. The garden uses natural and artificial lighting on soil, coco and soil-free (hydro) micro salads.

Innovation Greenhouse presents new ideas on materials that are currently being developed from plants. The living greenhouse in the tunnel entrance shows growing examples of some of these plants, and is complemented by an exhibition on this research in the Link Corridor. The London Design Festival Innovation Greenhouse is a collaboration between London Design Festival, Kingston University, China Academy of Art and the V&A.

Simon only has a small balcony and it is devoted to his plants. This year Simon has grown courgettes and herbs on his balcony and his beloved 4 year old chilli plant is cared for indoors, getting a little extra help from a horticultural lamp.
