Last winter I came across an interesting post on The Ethicurean
by a woman who was designing a garden-or rather, a small homestead on her garage roof. She had sketched out raised beds, places for chicken coops and a beehive. Even though this could go very wrong, I admired her vision.

Just last week, an article, Turning a Garage Roof to a Green Roof ran in the New Tribune about a woman who created a green roof out of succulents and broken ceramic and terra cotta pots on her garage to create an elevated landscape.
I'd love to see this become a trend.
