What is it about rooftop gardens that fascinate people so much? Perhaps it’s the mysterious allure of that lush green jungle peeking over the edge of the penthouse apartment. There are also many community rooftop gardens, though. How cool would it be if your apartment came with a 5×5 plot? Or if your place of work had a little farm over it and you could grab a carrot to augment your lunch? Some places take their rooftop gardens very seriously. In Switzerland a bylaw was recently passed requiring that any new building must replace any green space lost with green space on the roof and existing buildings must convert a minimum of 20% of their rooftop area to green space.

This year I got to visit the Autumn Hills Orchard in Groton, Massachusetts. Once I got there I feel in love with the scenery of the apple farm. There were so many beautiful trees with different apples and, of course, I was ready to eat! Honestly I can’t describe the farm but the pictures I took there can.
I was happy I got to share the moment with Bob, Jen, Lincoln, and Michael while I was there. I learned how apple is picked, the equipment they used, where they store it and so much more! I also got to taste this huge apple, but it was not anything I can’t handle! At the end of the tour, the guys and I got nice warm cider and tasty pastries to finish the day off. The day couldn’t have gone better!
