Herb, Fruit and Vegetable Roof Garden on the top of office building in King's Cross
Stéphanie and Michael attended a Food Junction event on Saturday 24 April to find out whether the Global Generation urban gardens could be somehow repeated as part of Urban Fallow.
They were guided by Paul Richens, Gardens Manager at Global Generation, through an allotment on top of an office building and through an improvised skip garden next to St Pancras International. Paul, who is an expert on the art of roof allotments explained that gardening on a roof can be challenging as it often involved carrying bags of soil to be carried up long staircases on human’s back!
