Hose Grown

  • Chay Reuby

Hose Grown is an upcycled firehose planter installed on top of firestation rooftop gardens, utilising damaged firehoses destined for landfill. Simon Jakeman (a London based firefighter) introduced rooftop Mindfulness Gardens to a selection of stations around London. With these stations cooking their own food they grow in these gardens, the planter allows firefighters to grow a variety of 14 herbs.

The planter comes with an instruction manual, with steps on how to install the planter to start growing their herbs. The manual also contains pop-out seed packets for each of the 14 different herbs.
