GREEN ROOF GARDEN
The Garden at Capital Gallery
Opened in 2021, the garden at The McPherson Building supplies fresh produce to the building's tenants as well as local non-profit partner Dreaming Out Loud. This unique garden build consists of six rows of large fabric pots amongst the rooftop mechanical equipment - a stunning integration of human and natural systems. The garden hosts a variety of vegetable crops such as basil, tomatoes, swiss chard, and mint, all of which are enjoyed by tenants through a weekly farmers market table.
