Market production is expected to begin in 2025.

This includes, as a condition to closing, that the resulting company from the Business Combination be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Garden builds upon the success of the Greenery, a commercial-scale, modular farm leveraging the most advanced hydroponic, vertical farming and controlled-environment technology.
