CONNECT 6 Unit 1 “Green Cities” Lesson 1

Maryam: Yes, it means people can grow their own fresh food and it’s
organic too, which means we only use natural fertilizer, we never
use chemicals.

Nour : Does your garden produce a lot of vegetables?

Maryam: Yes, it does. From just one square meter of roof garden, we can
harvest twenty kilos of vegetables a year. And that’s not all. Roof
gardens also help clean the air in the city, so that’s good for
people’s health. And they’re a great place to meet people and
make friends.

Nour : It sounds great, Maryam. We need more community roof gardens
like that in our city!
