Educational Guide
The Rooftop Garden Project team is proud to present the pedagogical guide Roots Around the World. Through a series of practical, critical and creative educational activities, it allows students in the three cycles of primary school to discover and reflect upon what is at stake in urban agriculture. Beautifully illustrated, this guide will take you from the fridge to the garden, from local action to global thinking.

A new garden was created by students in Environmental Sciences at UQAM. Activities organised at this entirely self-managed garden will allow students to explore urban gardening and social involvement. The garden's produce will go to the red roof church for distribution to the homeless.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful 2007 season!
Now that the gardens have been put to sleep for the season, we have some time to step back and take stock of everything that we achieved this year.

Article: Fruits (and vegetables) of their labour
Article by a Rooftop Garden volunteer, published in the McGill Reporter.
Thursday, September 27, 2007.
With all the green initiatives, tools and designs available to us, sustainable living is becoming a lot more accessible. The Rooftop Garden Project, a community initiative managed by Santropol Roulant and ALTERNATIVES, a non-profit, non-governmental organization, is a wonderful example of this. I volunteered recently at McGill's Edible Garden, our contribution to the Rooftop Garden Project, located beside Burnside Hall.
