  • Community Rooftop Garden Project

    CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A .18 ACRE ROOFTOP GARDEN FOR COMMUNITY ENJOYMENT. The garden is planted with a wide variety of trees, ornamentals, perennials and shrubs, and contains fish ponds with aquatic plants, a labelled herb garden and small seating areas. In 2024, 186 new community members joined the garden and 415 renewed their membership. Of those, 103 donated $50 or more which comprised 51% of four membership revenue. Membership is nominally a $20 donation, $10 for seniors. The garden is open to all on Sundays when two gardeners are in attendance.
