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.
