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
