This was definitely an idea I had for my house. I was thinking grass on top of bookshelves originally – because we have a large south-facing window in the living room.

I saw this and a Miele indoor grow system today:

I thought of those huge windows in the future employee breakroom, and how nice it would be to have some edible things growing in there. Fava beans in the winter, climbing/flowering pole beans in the summer?
