Check it out - images of the Rooftop Garden Project in an online video!
We found this by chance on the world wide web. How exciting to see a short video about urban agriculture, and the Rooftop Garden Project has such a strong presence!

Living machine à la Havane
Lors d’une mission à la Havane (voir document ci-joint), j’ai rencontré Ricardo Sanchez, un sympathique biologiste marin de l’Institut océanographique. Accidenté au travail et maintenant en chaise roulante, Ricardo a aménagé un écosystème dans son petit jardin, incluant une micro production de poisson pour rapprocher la mer de lui étant donné qu’il ne pouvait plus se déplacer vers elle. Il s’est aussi rapproché de sa mère qui entretient pour lui sa machine vivante. En plein cœur de la Havane, sur une butte rocailleuse et aride, ce jardin de type permaculture produit poissons, lapins, poules, légumes, fruits et plantes médicinales en plus d’adoucir le climat et d’embellir son milieu de vie.

The Rooftop Gardens Project takes Victoria!
Hello rooftop community!
After spending a wonderful summer gardening on the rooftops of Montreal, I’m back to my everyday ground-level life in Victoria, BC. The summer I spent working with the Rooftop Gardens Project was one of the most fun and inspiring I’ve ever spent, and I was so happy to share it with all of you. I must say I miss Montreal, but it seems that the magic of the rooftop garden project continues to follow me all the way across the country!
