PurTowers

The Power of PurTowers - From Inspiration to Installation

A Journey of Innovation and Sustainability

One scorching Saturday morning in Delray Beach, California marked the beginning of what would become a cornerstone of Purgreens’ identity—our PurTowers. Initially inspired by the unexpected sight of a vertical garden setup at a local wedding venue, this encounter sparked a revolutionary change in how we approach the sustainability of urban spaces.

Why PurTowers?

Our PurTowers are vertical gardens that represent a shift towards utilising urban spaces in a way that contributes positively to the environment. By adopting vertical farming techniques that we can grow in our own stores, we dramatically reduce the spatial footprint needed to grow our ingredients, which allows for fresher produce and lower carbon emissions due to reduced transportation needs. And, you can’t get any fresher than using produce grown and served on your plate – in the same place!

Impact and Expansion

The integration of PurTowers into our restaurants isn’t just about aesthetics or novelty; it’s a testament to our commitment to sustainability and health. These systems allow us to control the quality of our produce from seedling to harvest, ensuring that every dish we serve is as nutritious and fresh as it is delicious.

As we prepare to open our new location in Willoughby, our PurTowers are set to play a pivotal role. They not only demonstrate our innovative approach to sustainable agriculture but also engage and educate the community on the importance of green practices in urban settings.

Beyond Purgreens: A Vision for Urban Farming

Our vision extends beyond our own restaurants. We aim to inspire others to explore the potential of unused urban spaces to cultivate their own food, reduce their ecological footprint, and foster a deeper connection with the environment.

As Purgreens continues to grow, our PurTowers remain at the core of our mission, symbolising our dedication to a healthier, more sustainable future. We invite our guests and the community to learn more about these systems, their benefits, and how they can be implemented in various urban environments.
