Canada’s Only Rooftop Garden on Top of a Supermarket Keeps on Producing
Sourced from Global News
From the parking lot, you might not know that atop of the IGA Extra Famille Duchemin, in Ville-Saint-Laurent, sits a 29,000-square-foot garden.
The green rooftop has been in operation for eight seasons now, and this year the store has partnered with Montreal non-profit La Ferme de Rue.
“We are producing, conditioning, putting produce in packages and bringing it down,” said Réal Migneault, founder La Ferme de Rue Montreal.
This year, there are 40 different organic vegetables, herbs and Quebec garlic growing in the garden.
From eggplants to tomatoes, spinach and peppers – you name, they have it.
The products are planted, grown, washed, packaged and brought down into the supermarket.
