Rooftop Gardens

A fun story about:
Worlds Largest Rooftop Greenhouse Coming to Chicago
http://www.truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/world-s-largest-rooftop-greenhouse-coming-to-Chicago
From Jeff Best

A few years ago I went to a garden conference outside of Chicago. As part of the conference we toured some of the city gardens. Two of them were on top of tall buildings downtown, and at the Chicago Botanic Garden they had a large rooftop garden on their research center. One of the gardens atop a building downtown even had a small stream going around it. We can thank the last Mayor Daly, because his wife was a master gardener and encouraged gardens of all kinds in the downtown area. Photos were take in October.

Enjoy!
