McGill University Rooftop Garden
The architecture department at McGill University in Montreal joined forces with Canadian-based Roof-Top Gardens to create a garden on the concrete steps of the university’s Burnside Building.
The advantages to the project are many. Aside from the money and energy being saved by not importing fruits and vegetables, the garden is being used for a charitable cause as well. The Meals On Wheels program run by the Montreal-based community organization Santropol Roulant, which brings meals to home-bound elderly people, receives about one-third of its vegetables from the Roof-Top Garden during the summer. Additionally, students and faculty at the university feel that the garden brings a sense of nature to the very urban environment.
