The Living Roof community garden project is an innovative urban agriculture initiative that sits atop the St. George Ferry Terminal in Staten Island, NY.
In 2014, Greensulate was brought in to convert the 13,000 sq. ft. rooftop greenspace into Staten Island's first rooftop farm, introducing over 7,000 sq. ft. of farm space to be used for edibles production. The remaining vegetative areas were planted with sedums and grasses to maintain an aesthetic appeal.
Greensulate works with volunteers, educational institutions and community partners to oversee the maintenance and development of the planting areas. In addition, The Living Roof and Greensulate team with New York organizations and nonprofits to continuously utilize this space for volunteer and learning opportunities.
All produce is donated to local food pantries, promoting healthy eating for underserved communities. In addition, The Living Roof project is committed to providing the education needed to reconnect the community with food production and the natural environment.
With its very public location, The Living Roof continues to be a showcase for urban rooftop agriculture.
