Rooftop Garden atop a Toronto Cultural Hub
We’re joined by Saskia Vegter, the Urban Agricultural Co-ordinator at 401 Richmond, a former industrial building that has been transformed into a cultural hub in a dense downtown Toronto neighbourhood.
The rooftop at 401 Richmond has three garden areas: A deck-patio area, which includes trees and shrubs in containers; an extensive sedum green roof; the “mini farm,” which has fruit, vegetables, herbs, and flowers for cutting growing in containers.
Are you thinking of growing a potted olive tree? Or maybe you already have one…but you’re still waiting for olives. Olive trees are tough as nails. They can take more cold than many people realize. And they’re really beautiful, too. Put these all together, and you have a great potted plant for a cold-climate garden.
In my new book, Grow Olives Where You Think You Can't, I tell you everything you need to know to successfully grow an olive tree in a pot!
