One day we found that our basement apartment had grown a little stuffy. After reading that Gerbera daisies are excellent at cleaning the air, we promptly purchased a yellow daisy for the corner of the room... and then a pink daisy... and then a majesty palm... and then some ivy... and so on until we had two rooms full of plants including fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers growing in soil, soilless mixes, hydroponics, and aquaponics.

This is the story of our garden and how it grew in a basement apartment from a single yellow daisy.
