When we went to visit the rooftop garden, it didn't really turn out to be what I expected. I expected more plants and didn't really understand why it was in a parking lot type of space. Despite the location and weather, I really loved being there and learning about urban gardening. In the picture above, I learned that although many plants are similar, they shouldn't really be planted in the same space because the roots may become entangled and some plants may overcome others. I really enjoyed going there and I really want to visit another location that has an urban garden. It was really exciting!
This is awesome! I just bought a house and would like to learn how to garden too :) Just wanted to let you know that I am having a giveaway on my blog. Please check it out. Thanks!

I totally expected something different, too. I don't know how many rooftop gardens you've seen/been to, but I know that there is one in Rogers Park on top of Common Ground Cafe. I think the set up is a little different and the plants are not so scattered around like they are at Weiss. There were a lot of plants, I noticed, as we walked around the parking structure, they were just scattered everywhere. It seems to me that it might make watering them a LOT harder. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think you would ever try to grow a garder in the city? Rooftop or otherwise? I'm starting small with some mint and some tomatoes. :)
