The Rooftop Gardening Source

Eli Zabar’s grocery store and restaurant in Manhattan is a prime example of using urban rooftop space for agriculture. This roof has commercial-size production greenhouses filled with raised beds planted in greens and herbs and tomatoes. Fig trees in planters are lined up sporadically along the edge of one rooftop. All vegetables and fruits produced in these greenhouses are sold in the grocery store and restaurant below.
