    Gardening enthusiasts living in cities will certainly cheer for Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray's Window Farms experiment. The artist-in-residence duo at Eyebeam have teamed up to develop a DIY system for creating "suspended, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield light-augmented" vertical gardens that will enable anyone to start their own garden right in their very own window. Britta and Rebecca were showcasing their prototype at Eyebeam last week and have enlisted a dozen or so volunteers that are building their own farms -- all to go on display in windows throughout NYC from <strong>May 31 to July 14</strong>.
