Flour Tower
Flour Tower is the horticultural centre of the city. The vertical farm provides a bright space to grow fresh produce, and the ground floor hosts an educational centre to run workshops to inform residents about urban agriculture.
The Beehive encourages and sustains the local honeybee population, and the café and farm shop sells all the products grown on-site. Cycle parking, as well as a fleet of cargo bikes are available for distribution to local schools and shops.
The centre facilitates the full lifecycle of food production — thereby reducing Gingerbread food miles.
