Look what we discovered in the roof garden…in April! We have five bunches of rainbow swiss chard that are already growing strong in this uncharacteristic balmy weather and are living up to their nickname “perpetual spinach”!
Property Manager and Gardener Extraordinaire, Mike Moody tends to the plants of 401 Richmond, from side-walk trees to rooftop shrubs.
Not so glamorous, but oh so essential to happy plants, 401 Richmond’s rooftop compost system transforms kitchen scraps from the cafe and management office into a nutrient-packed soil amendment. Mixing in dry, carbon-rich leaves and plant material creates an environment that sometimes reaches 60°C! Earthworms and other compost organisms help with the decomposition process.
Rooftop Harvest!
— This summer on the rooftop, produce grew in self-watering containers and felt modular gardens.
