Floating Gardens with Bulb Flowers: No Dirt, Just Innovation Redefining Gardening In a world where urbanization and climate change challenge traditional gardening, an extraordinary solution is rising — literally — on water: floating gardens without dirt. These soil-less systems are not only revolutionizing how we grow plants but are also rewriting nature’s rules with bulb flowers thriving in buoyant, sustainable environments. ### What Are Floating Gardens With No Dirt? Floating gardens, also known as float farming or hydrofloating gardens, are self-sustaining platforms built to support plants on water surfaces. Unlike conventional gardening, they eliminate the need for soil. Instead, bulb flowers — such as tulips, daffodils, and crocuses — grow in water-based media enriched with nutrients, their roots suspended directly in the water or anchored in floating organic substrates like coconut coir or recycled plastic matrices.
