After writing about the
regenesis of botanical gardens this past week, I remembered
my scheme to build one at MIT next to our co-generation plant -- i.e. otherwise wasted heat in winter. Generally such
gardens are delightful, whether indoor or outdoor, as these images illustrate...
Great idea to have the garden near co-gen. Maybe there could be a special funding check-box for alum donations to support an indoor garden. Good for the soul in the dead of Boston winter.
