In but a few years it’s going to be essential for urban dwellers to grow their own food, either on their roof tops or in community gardens and farms around the city in which they live. Here is a rather straight forward (if not a little mundane) video from the American Society of Landscape Architects. Enjoy.
Hi y’all,
If you have 2-3 mins would you mind filling out this questionnaire and then forwarding it on? We’d really appreciate it and it would give us some great insights which we’re happy to share.
There is even a prize for those who take the time to enter! Just ‘wow’ - we know.
Here is the link to the Questionnaire: Connected Roots Survey
Thanks!
Urban agriculture, lettuce grown in gutters attached to the side of a house.
Who says you need heaps of land to grow your own food?
Perfect example of what is possible if people have the inclination, the ambition and the taste for fresh veg. These will stay (mostly) watered on their own, get ample sunlight and keep producing veg right through the year until the first frosts of winter.
We’ve been trying to find these in London and wondered anyone has seen any?

As part of the Festival of Britain the Southbank has been transformed into all that is British, this could mean a host of negative deviations, but no! one part has actually manifested itself as a stunning and properous roof top garden. Connected Roots went down to visit, and in a torrential downpour, it looked resplendent. This shows exactly what is possible on a roof top no more than 30 metres Sq. And how many more naked buildings are there is this fair city with exactly the same roof space?! See more pics hereFestival of Britain - Southbank
