Recreating Eden - 3x08 - Gardens in the Sky- Followmy.tv

Mike Moody is an unassuming modern renaissance man: an intellect who reads Latin and ancient Greek, a philosopher of great depth, a skilled craftsman, a successful teacher, a caring father … and a ‘reluctant’ gardener. Built in the asphalt desert of Toronto’s rooftops, Moody’s garden developed unintentionally with the placement of one potted plant on the roof of 401 Richmond Street. Two years later, the result is a beautiful rooftop garden retreat that is now relied upon as a place of refuge by the building’s tenants looking to escape the heat, noise and stress of working downtown. It truly is an example of how one can create a space of beauty and environmental well-being in the least likely of places.
