Objective and Background
The Little Garden project in Florida was developed around the idea of producing fresh, high quality lettuce in a controlled environment using NFT hydroponic technology. In a region where outdoor growing conditions can be unpredictable due to humidity, heat, and seasonal weather extremes, the greenhouse was designed to create a stable and efficient production environment focused on clean and consistent leafy greens cultivation.

Key Challenges
Key Challenges
Key Challenges
Florida’s climate created challenges related to temperature management, humidity control, and maintaining optimal water quality within the NFT system. Because lettuce is highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations, the greenhouse required precise coordination between climate systems, irrigation, and automation to ensure stable root zone conditions and consistent crop quality throughout the year.
