Engineering the garden

The Wagon, by design

Our rolling garden isn't just a planter, it's a hand-built cart engineered to bring living herbs safely to the people who need them. Explore the blueprint below to see how it's made.

To prototype, we went through lots of meetings simply sketching and iterating. We also spent a total of 3 hours in Home Depot to pick our wood and materials, ensuring quality as well as cost-effectiveness. After about 3 weeks of prototyping, we built it in Tejas' backyard. After lots of nails, sanding, and cutting, our work culminated in a solid, reliable, and functional wagon for carrying our plants.
