4H Rooftop Garden

Goal:

The Green Rooftop was created to be energy-saving. There are 20 self-watering containers that are brought up every year that grow vegetables that are then harvested and sold to the Ðǿմ«Ã½ community.  “Work needed to be done to renovate the 4H roof, so Ðǿմ«Ã½ decided to move forward with a plan to make the 4H roof ‘green’ in a more permanent way. Getting water to the site is a problem, vegetation was therefore chosen that can withstand periods of drought and that is tough and meant to be virtually maintenance-freeâ€�.

Maintenance:

    • Maintenance-free
    • Once a week, you will need to add water to the self-watering containers

Interesting Notes:

    • Ðǿմ«Ã½’s green rooftop was permanently installed with native plants in 2019
    • The 4H rooftop is also the home of our honey bee hives
    • Helps supplies our bi-weekly market
    • Every other week, our produce is donated to a local day shelter and wellness center
    • Sustainabili-team volunteers get to go home with produce
    • It is zero waste
