Rooftop vegetables
Print Edition
The Kerry Everbright City, a mixed-use complex near the Shanghai Railway Station, has turned three of its rooftops into vegetable gardens covering almost 300 square meters.
Nearly 40 vegetables are planted there, including radishes, cucumbers, lettuce and pumpkin.
The gardens are built on environmentally friendly gardening techniques. Rainwater is captured and stored for irrigation, and coffee grounds collected from the complex’s cafes are used as mulch.
Employees from the property’s management company and sanitation workers from the local Beizhan subdistrict are participating in the project. The sanitation crew, mostly migrants from rural areas, is lending farming skills to garden cultivation.
Gardening experts have also been invited to provide tips on getting the best harvests.
