Sitting high above rush hour traffic, is a full production, organic farm - growing food in only 8-12 inches of soil spread across the rooftop of a New York City building.

We explore hints and tricks to getting a lot from small space gardening including vertical gardening.

For new and experienced gardeners alike, Independent Garden Centers (IGC's) offer a wealth of resources for education, real examples, and some of the most appropriate plants and ideas for a specific location or region.

We follow a group of young gardeners who are traveling the country in a retro-fitted school bus powered on nothing but waste vegetable oil and their own enthusiasm.
