My son is in the NYC public school system and is lucky enough to be able to participate in an urban gardening program. There's no question that the kids are more likely to eat the food when they participate in growing it! My question is this: has anyone taken it upon themselves to try to develop a program for rooftop gardening, especially in low income areas? We live in a low income area. You can't get good produce to save your life. And our roofs are covered with directtv dishes and cell towers. How can we get landlords to see the overall benefit to this and start a movement?
