Architectural firm People's Industrial Design Office has designed a community garden in Beijing which is transported around the big city by bicycle to give big city dwellers with no access to their own garden a taste of rural farming. The mobile farm, dubbed 'Bike Share Farm', sits on top of two bicycles and can be cycled from place to place. Pipes run across the metal base with holes for potted plants while solar panels provide energy for the watering system.
