Those who can afford a rooftop garden or a plush green lawn do that. What about those of us who put up in flats and only dream about having a mini garden for ourselves within our houses? For such folks, Dutch designer Daniel Schipper has created an affordable, foldable greenhouse to plants your own mini-greens in form of tiny flower varieties or may be even grass sprouts!

The mini-garden delight is lightweight, portable, eco-friendly (made out of recycled plastic) and has a foldable roof for easy storage. Its base is also recycled out of plastic composite. The no-fuss and minimalist appliance requires just 3 little steps: unfold, snap, and water. The greenhouse is carved for small spaces like balconies, roof terraces, town gardens or city houses.

A passout of The Design Academy Eidhoven, Schipper loves to churn out simple, easy-to-use and sustainable designs for products like shelters, chairs etc. A look at his portfolio will tell you how ’simplicity’ as a principle is at the core of the designer’s varied products. All his projects accentuate upon three aspects viz. functionality, fold-ability and like I mentioned earlier aswell, sustainability.

His latest greenhouse project has been well appreciated in Netherlands and he is now on the lookout for some like-minded fellow to help him put this nouveau creation of his in production.
