PRRM Rooftop Garden

My Rooftop Gardening Experience

My morning office routine usually started with enjoying Divine’s freshly brewed coffee (with peanuts prepared by Ate Ish of Doc Susan’s Kitchen Clinic or yummy muffins from Planet Infinity!) while checking emails. That has changed! Now upon arrival, I leave my bag in the room and immediately go up to the building’s rooftop to say hello to our plants on the office building’s rooftop garden.

Chronicles of PRRM Rooftop Gardening

An urban garden at the PRRM building in Quezon City was a project conceived since 2006. In 2006 a hydroponics projects was installed on the rooftop. Lettuce was grown in a liquid medium. In 2007 another garden was installed in clay jars at the penthouse. However, both projects were not sustained and left the rooftop and penthouse bare.

The combined area in the rooftop and the penthouse that is good for planting measures 323 square meters.
