City Rooftop Food Gardens

We want to establish food gardens on the rooftops of inner city buildings so that inner city dwellers can grow their own fresh, healthy produce, form connections with their neighbours, and make a positive contribution to the urban environment.

But look at the Autopots in my veggie garden

Here is an autopot system I have just rigged up on my deck for ornamentals. I know you are thinking what a waste.

Its hard to find rooftop gardeners here in Dunedin. I'm looking to for ideas for and exposed roof overlooking the city and harbour. All ideas and information welcome. Meanwhile I'll check out Mariana's comments from May 2011

Thanks for the suggestions Ricardo. Definitely keen on reusing materials whenever possible, and keen to learn more about hydroponics to find out if it's a technique we could utilise.

Karangahape Garden, Auckland City

Hiya This will probably only be relevant to those of you living in or near Auckland City. Somebody has recently started a Facebook page for support towards putting a community garden on the roof of the K-Road carpark. If anybody's interested in this, I've included the link below for you. https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Karangahape-Garden/195013280551048 Cheers, Samantha
