urbanlife says:
Why should you consider a rooftop garden?

* Increase access to private outdoor green space within the urban environment
* Support urban food production
* Promote individual, community, and cultural diversity
* Improve air quality and reduce CO2 missions
* Delay stormwater runoff
* Increase habitat for birds
* Insulate buildings
* Increase the value of buildings for owners and tenants alike
* Create job opportunities in the field of research, design, construction, Iandscaping, gardening, health, and food production

A great idea! We have these gardens in Boston that are giant blocks of land divided into small pieces. People rent or pay for one of the divisions and create their own garden. But there's not enough land. This is a really great compromise and a unique solution....plus all of the other benefits above!

Great clip, as always!

You are lucky to live in Boston - I think Boston is a great "green-friendly" progressive city. I have heard a lot about their community gardens - but I did not know that they were short on land. Hopefully rooftop gardens will catch on in Boston and here in Maryland!
