From the Dig In with Kym blog on OregonLive.com, a post about great gardens from 2007, featuring the city's first commercial rooftop edible garden. The garden, atop the Rocket building near East Burnside in Portland, feeds the Rocket Restaurant just one floor below. Discarded kiddie pools hold enough dirt to support fresh arugula, lettuce, and other fresh foods for hungry diners.
That's a trend I would like to see spread even further -- restaurants striving for the freshest of produce by growing at least some of it themselves.
