“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you all know of any rooftop gardening happening at condo or rental buildings in DC? I know about Bread for the City and some other organizations doing it, but not aware of any tenant efforts.
I’d be very interested to connect with people who have made this happen at their building so I might follow their lead :)
Thanks for any insight you might have!”
