Happy Earth Day!

Here's some special Earth Day inspiration for you of rooftop gardens in urban settings. There are so many environmental, social, and psychological benefits of rooftop gardens: they reduce the heat island effect, they create community spaces, and they break up the monotonous concrete landscape of a major metropolitan area. Of course, nothing is better than getting yourself out into nature, breathing in that fresh, clean air, feeling the dirt under your feet, and having nothing but trees, land, and sky for as far as the eye can see. This planet we live on is the most incredible place, full of amazing natural wonders. Wherever you happen to be, take a moment today to appreciate it and reflect on the ways you can and do make it a better place.
