How (High) Does Your Garden Grow?
August 22, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Event Navigation
Rooftop gardens are hidden delights, and the Upper West has its share of green gems. Author (“Roof Explorer’s Guide”) and blogger Leslie Adatto will take our walking tour to a whole new level with a peek at 3 rooftop gardens along Broadway.
We’ll start atop a pre-war co-op, luxuriating in an abundance of annuals and herbs, then skip down a few levels to the wonderful Lotus Garden, a community garden planted on top of a parking garage. Back up we’ll go to another co-op, with pergolas, fruit trees, and views galore from water towers to the Hudson. Volunteer “sky-level” gardeners will additionally share what they have learned about wind, weight, irrigation, paving –and building regulations!
Whether offering stunning views or simply access to a little greenery and fresh air, these urban oases bring nature’s magic to life above our city streets.
