World’s first underwater farm ‘Nemo’s Garden’ reopens

World’s first underwater farm ‘Nemo’s Garden’ reopensThe world's first underwater farm is called 'Nemo’s Garden' and it is located in Italy.

A father and son duo named Sergio and Luca Gamberini founded it in 2012. And an organisation called the Ocean Reef Group runs it.

This amazing underwater garden is a unique garden consisting of six underwater greenhouses. A greenhouse is a building made of glass in which people grow plants and flowers. They first grew basil on this underwater farm. And then, slowly, they grew other plants such as tomatoes, beans, green peas, and strawberries.

Unfortunately, this amazing underwater farm was damaged during a storm in October 2019. Before they could repair it properly, the COVID-19 pandemic happened too. So, they couldn't fix it.

Now, after a long time, on 6 June, they reopened the farm! People say that the fruits and vegetables that grow there have a much stronger flavour. You can even the plants grow online here.
