What a great amenity! Be sure to post photos of how the plants turn out later this spring. I wish I had a rooftop garden, nice views from up there. Must be a relaxing place to hang out.

Great job on the video. Planting our own crops was a great experience.

On another note, I am very happy to post that there is a new tenant where staples used to be, an Aldi Supermarket! I love Aldi! Try have great products at great prices. This will be a great addition to the community. Not sure how folks will take their bag fee, but if you bring your own bags you don't have to pay.

Small steps :-)

Nice video, good job to those involved.

The two large vacant lots to south of Via Verde are likely to have innovative designs built in their place. It's going to be interesting. You can almost feel the revitalization accelerating.

Thank goodness we do not hear them. They probably are shooting for the weekend. Time is money. Yea the vacant lots near us are most certainly going to cater to a growing new community. Heard even the Sponsor for Via Verde are getting involved and looking to get selected to develop what may be retail, etc catered maybe to what we are interested in. Our Management company was asking for suggestions so i assume they will seriously try. It is posted on their blog at
Welcome to Via Verde "The Green Way": Retail Questionnaire to Residents

make your suggestions there you never know!

Smile Garden Mulching Blues - (video link)

New Via Verde Garden club Video - "GARDEN MULCHING BLUES". It was great fun doing this video. Great company as the garden club members are spreading mulch on our newly planted rooftop garden beds.
