Urban Gardening

by Susan Walsh

Good Morning!
I ran across a really interesting article in Scientific American about Urban Gardening. It seems that in Singapore, where the majority of the population live in government built high rises, “apartment gardens” are all the rage. Since owning a house is not something that is an option for most people there, apartment gardens are their way of having a little slice of paradise. Apartment gardens have become so popular and have so many benefits that the government has begun encouraging them! You can read more about Singapore’s apartment gardens here.

    This is great! I do hope that you’ll incorporate a lot of city garden posts into your rotation. We city gardeners tend to get the short shrift!
