Monday June 6 Refreshments start at 6pm Discussions start at 6:30 Guest Speaker Monique Simard, President of Alternatives Board On June 6 Alternatives will be hosting a soirée dedicated to rooftop gardening in the global context - how can urban gardens influence food politics and reinforce local food security in various world areas? You will hear briefly about our winter adventures in Cuba, Senegal, and Mexico and see photos of related projects from each destination. The evening’s activities will be centered around a group discussion investigating the potential of urban agriculture production in various world contexts and exploring the challenges faced by urban farmers worldwide. We hope to delve into various areas of interest surrounding urban agriculture, including land rights, water access, and health issues. So bring your ideas, or just come fresh and form them on the spot!

We have a winner for the balcony garden contest! Thanks to everyone who expressed interest ... it was a hard decision and we appreciate your openness to the idea of the rooftop garden team invading your spaces. This means that next week we will begin greening our first residential balcony! We're excited to get started, and will keep you uprised of our progress. We'll also organize an eventual visit to the site, to demonstrate different and diverse incarnations of our growing techniques.

Tuesday, June 21: 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm The Rooftop Garden Project team cordially invites you to our Second Annual Garden Party! Please join us to officially kick-off the rooftop gardening season and celebrate the summer Solstice. This year we are opening the garden in style, so don your best whites and wide brimmed hats and enjoy great conversation, a beautiful view and Santropol Roulant's gourmet finger sandwiches, natural ice teas, and other light mid-summer's delights. Santropol Roulant and Alternatives invite you to meet and greet our members, volunteers, partners and supporters, and to come see the new and wonderful creations in this year's rooftop garden. We have invited a few people from the project team and our generous supporters to share their reflections. After the presentations everyone can explore the garden, take a tour of the systems we have developed, enjoy the photo exhibition, and even take a turn with the croquet mallet.
