Bioremediating Floating Raft Gardens
Collaborating with the London boat community, these bioremediating floating gardens were designed to be built and installed by boat residents using accessible and locally sourced materials to fight canal water pollution. By incentivizing boaters with the promise of a private floating garden, this community-based call to action automatically strategizes and targets the source of water pollution and converts it into the solution. This collectively improves the quality of this shared water ecosystem whilst promoting the growth of native plants, insects and birds.
