Beds of black-eyed Susans are also blossoming at our roof garden on Randall's Island, where we experiment on roof garden design and construction. At the far end of the roof, there are honeybee hives to help pollinate these plants.

#THREAD - Pandemic restrictions have led to a spike in gardening, with people turning to their backyards for entertainment, comfort, and a sustainable source of food. But for those without green thumbs, there’s another option: yard sharing. https://thecounter.org/grassroots-groups-grow-produce-yard-sharing-access-crop-swap/

Ever heard someone tell you that younger trees absorb more carbon dioxide that older trees?

THINK AGAIN say the scientists inverviewed in Wired.

“You can't sequester a lot of carbon without big trees,” Lutz says. “You just can't do it.”
