Brooklyn Grange
Who could have imagined that an organic farm could be built in the middle of Queens in New York City? What makes the Brooklyn Grange even more special is that it’s built on a rooftop! This garden began a little over a year ago in spring of 2010, and it has over forty types of vegetables and herbs.
Ben Flanner is the mastermind behind this project, collaborating with many passionate parties like Acumen Capital Partners, which is a company that works for “sustainable renovation of commercial spaces in New York City.” He and his collaborators want to send the message the urban farming is a very promising way to impact the health and environment of local communities.
Definitely check out the article, here! They’ve also provided some beautiful pictures of the garden on the site.
Until Next Time,
Christine
