Sky Farms! We can eat the walls!



Ok....so as you probably already know I'm a big sci-fi fan..........this all started with the Jetsons, and then later Star Wars and of course Star Trek........ Well when I found something today on SKY FARMS I just was floored. Check it out ...........entire skyscrapers covered in lush, beautiful, at times edible! green growth! This isn't the ivy variety, it is a vertically landscaped paradise.
The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century
Planting Green Roofs and Living Walls


Check out the Environmental Grafftti website here for a long slideshow of vertical gardens around the world.
In Toronto, our friends to the north, they have several designs for urban skyscraper farms.....talk about eating LOCAL in the city! check out the skyfarms website here.


Here is to putting a garden everywhere there is free space.........the sides of walls........everywhere!
