Explore beautiful gardens, including a living wall consisting of a vertical garden that is 100-percent self-sustained and soil free; and fruit and vegetable gardens tended to by Macdonough Elementary School students.  


And learn about the environmentally friendly construction of the roof top (and building), which includes energy efficient features like a renewable solar hot water system, and a high performance roof system that reduces heat island effects.
