Six people are being interviewed about the garden on the roof of their building.


Jasmine: I loved the idea when Wilber first told me about it. We had lots of meetings with our neighbors, trying to make them understand why it’s good to build a garden on the roof. Now people love coming here, and it’s helped many of us become friends!

Wilber: The whole thing wasn’t easy at first. But Jasmine helped a lot. And she was really good at making people happy to give money for the roof garden.

David: My kids love going up there. They sit there watching butterflies and birds. The roof garden brings them closer to nature.

Samuel: You want something green? Visit the park! It’s only one block away! After the roof garden was built, bugs started flying into my apartment! And the kids leave mud on the stairs when they come down from the roof!

Flora: Guess where these tomatoes are from! Not from the supermarket. They’re from our roof! Isn’t that wonderful?
