Biophilic Design at Bedford Green House I

Bedford Green House I is inspired by the concept of biophilia—the scientific theory that humans tend to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. The aquaponics farming system in the greenhouse contains fish, vegetables, and microgreens growing in a symbiotic ecosystem—fish waste feeds the plants and plant roots clean the fish tanks. Through farming and horticultural therapy programs, residents can harvest nutrient rich vegetables and learn, hands-on, about ecological stewardship.
