Hanging Gardens flash freezes our plants at the time of harvest. Other grower/processors typically hang their plants in the drying and curing process, which allows heat and oxygen to break down phytochemicals such as THC. Hanging Gardens prevents such chemical reactions by flash freezing plants at harvest to produce a medicine that is chemically more similar to the living plant. In fact, throughout the entire manufacturing process, Hanging Gardens prevents the degradation of the flowers’ desired compounds with precise control of temperature and by eliminating the extract’s exposure to oxygen.
