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. The summer I spent working with the Rooftop Gardens Project was one of the most fun and inspiring I’ve ever spent, and I was so happy to share it with all of you. 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!

Thanks to all the courageous gardeners (above) who came out for the final push on Saturday! It was an unforgettable day of fun where a rainbow of emotions surrounded the end of the 2006 gardening season.
