This project has been exciting. We have done a lot. We have thought of creative ideas and plans for our roof top garden. However our project will not come to life as of now. This is because of the challenges we have faced in trying to realize a rooftop garden. Or initial challenge was gaining access to the first site on top of Liberty.  We had plans ready but we were never able to make it up a second time. Another big challenge we faced was the time. Designing, building, and organizing a rooftop garden is a lot to do with a short amount of time, especially once we lost our first sight of Liberty.  If we had time to continue, I’m confident that we would be able to design and build a great project. Our third challenge was not getting funded. This of course was a result of the short amount of time we had to design a new garden after we had to change locations.

We have learned a lot from this project. There are challenges, but of course there are ways around and past these challenges. I’m confident that if we were to have more time, we could develop a very useful and successful rooftop garden.
