POST Houston has established the largest rooftop farm in Texas, known as the Skyfarm, where volunteers have begun planting herbs and vegetables. Lead Skyfarmer August Stubler emphasized the importance of this initiative, noting that many individuals lack home gardening access. The public is encouraged to participate in urban agriculture activities every Wednesday. The farm employs sustainable practices, growing around 40 different crops without pesticides, providing an educational model that blends agriculture with local ecosystems.
Not a lot of people have their own homes or garden spaces, so this may be the only access to living, breathing soil that they have.
This is a wonderful model for what agriculture and gardening can look like when it's merged with the natural ecosystems that live here.
