A keystone of this research focused on measuring the nutrition of different plants grown with Just Vertical gardens vs. store-bought produce. Through our collaborative research, we were able to determine that our gardens produce more nutritious produce than store-bought produce, helping us better understand the impact of our gardens.

Not only are our founders proud Alumni of UofT, but we’ve also partnered on various research projects with the institution.

Once our organization starting building and testing our gardens, we partnered with UofT to evaluate the impact of Just Vertical's indoor gardens in Revera's urban senior homes in Toronto, where greenery and food interactions were lacking. The gardens improved residents' morale, sparked joy, and served as appealing decorations, fostering meaningful engagement with the program.
