The 820 square foot rooftop garden project atop Umbrella House includes the design of a structural steel frame comprised of W14x6 beams and concrete planking to support the raised 8” planting beds. A stormwater management strategy utilizes a mixture of gravel with the planting soil and aims to serve as an example for urban gardens across the New York City. The first planting was in Spring 2015 and so far the garden has produced zucchini, tomatoes, okra, broccoli, spinach, beets, peas, eggplant, lettuce and Swiss chard, among other vegetables and a plethora of flowers and herbs.

Malabar Spinach is native to India and Africa and needs warm soils to do well. Its red stems and black berries are a beautiful addition to any vegetable garden. Harvest the young leaves and eat raw like spinach or sauté the larger leaves in EVOO and garlic. It can grow to 30 feet up a trellis.
