Rooftop Vegetable Garden

We never knew how much we needed a rooftop garden until we saw this jaw-dropping space from @chapman_collection. Imagine tending to your garden while viewing a city skyline view like this. Plus, there’s no shortage of sunlight on a roof, so these vegetables are sure to be healthy and happy.

You can build them from a kit. By the way: A rooftop garden is not the same as a green roof.

In-Ground Vegetable Garden

Although planters keep vegetables contained and tidy, there’s something to be said for an old-fashioned vegetable garden planted directly in the ground, like this one from @thewiedmeyerhomestead.

Wheatgrass covers the pathways between the tidy rows of veggies, and a fence surrounds the whole thing to keep out critters. A layer of small rocks around the fence prevents hungry rabbits from burrowing underneath.
