Thank you to everyone for a wonderful 2007 season!

Now that the gardens have been put to sleep for the season, we have some time to step back and take stock of everything that we achieved this year.

Article: Fruits (and vegetables) of their labour

Article by a Rooftop Garden volunteer, published in the McGill Reporter.

Thursday, September 27, 2007.

The Rooftop Garden Project, a community initiative managed by Santropol Roulant and ALTERNATIVES, a non-profit, non-governmental organization, is a wonderful example of this. I volunteered recently at McGill's Edible Garden, our contribution to the Rooftop Garden Project, located beside Burnside Hall.
