The Rooftop Gardens Project takes Victoria!

Hello rooftop community!

After spending a wonderful summer gardening on the rooftops of Montreal, I’m back to my everyday ground-level life in Victoria, BC.

I must say I miss Montreal, but it seems that the magic of the rooftop garden project continues to follow me all the way across the country!
