The Sky Garden is a volunteer-run rooftop vegetable garden at the University of Toronto. This garden showcases our light-weight model and serves as a teaching space for urban agriculture workshops. Run by volunteers with the aim of increasing local, organic food availability for the student community, the Sky Garden uses a network of lightweight, semi-hydroponic containers and a drip irrigation system to grow around 500lbs of vegetables each season.

We're proud of gardening on the roof, but this is on another level: http://vimeo.com/18464092

On average, our food travels 4.000 km before it hits our plates. This makes the food sector one of the biggest energy consumers. Fortunately there’s a growing awareness…

Thanks to everyone that helped out, and look forward to next year.
