Gardening

A family's unique homestead in Norway, which is encapsulated within a large industrial greenhouse. The interview subjects explain that this structure was erected primarily to mitigate the harsh climate and allow them to grow a variety of fruits and vegetables year-round, including types impossible to cultivate outdoors in their region. The family, led by an architect, constructed a full, traditional Norwegian home inside the protective greenhouse shell, intentionally designing it to interact with the environment for warmth and light, which dramatically raises the interior temperature during sunny winter days. They also discuss the systems in place for water, pruning, and composting, emphasizing a desire for self-sufficiency and a deep connection to nature.
