Hukkapuisto in Suvilahti and a pollinator roof in Herttoniemi.
Blokgarden’s role
In Suvilahti, we delivered Hukkapuisto using reused materials and rescued plants. At Herttoniemi metro station, we built a pollinator meadow roof with HumbleBee Housing Project. Both pilots explored ways to bring nature into dense urban settings.
Returning restaurant nutrients to edible plant production.
Blokgarden’s role
With Restaurant Savoy, we delivered a circular economy pilot in which restaurant biowaste was processed with a DTS biomixer. The resulting nutrient-rich soil amendment improved the growing medium for rooftop cultivation. The pilot connected nutrient cycling and urban growing in practice.
