About Garden Above the City

Garden Above the City was created from a simple idea: you do not need a large backyard to grow a real garden.

Real rooftop container garden with vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants

THE STORY

A Garden Built Above the City

The project grew from years of practical experience gardening in containers on a rooftop terrace and balcony. Vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, and ornamental plants all have to deal with the same challenges found in many urban spaces — limited room, strong sun, wind, changing weather, and the need for careful watering.

The Garden Above the City books are written for people who want practical guidance rather than complicated theory. The aim is to explain what works, what often goes wrong, and how to build a garden step by step without making the process harder than it needs to be.
