Returning for its second season, the garden at 2112 Penn is shaping up to be as bountiful as it is colorful. The Monarch Waystation habitat has come back to life with milkweed emerging from the soil, joining annual flowers like California poppy, statice, and strawflower to feed pollinators of all kinds. And, with over 300 linear feet dedicated to growing vegetables on this roof, 2112 Penn harvest tables this season will be filled with tons of fresh veggies and herbs for tenants to enjoy again this year!
