Landscaping the Sky: Green Roofs in the City - Plant One On Me

I first met Marni in the spring of 2018 when I visited Kingsland Wildflowers, a 22,000 square foot rooftop garden just 2 blocks from my house. I was surprised I had never heard of Kingsland before, but I have to admit: it's not situated in a "destination hotspot" in New York City!
