Recreating EdenThe green roofs at 215 Spadina and 401 Richmond received a lot of attention recently from the documentary gardening series Recreating Eden (Vision TV). The series focuses on special gardens around the world and their impact not only on the people who cultivate these amazing spaces, but also on the communities that spend time in and around them. As a special treat, Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone joinged the cast on Thursday July 14, to talk about the City of Toronto's support for green initiatives. Pantalone is an advocate of tree planting and projects like the green roof at 215 Spadina. He was happy to show his support by appearing on Recreating Eden with Building Owner Margie Zeidler, who showed him around our rooftop meadow. We would like to thank our staff and tenants who contributed to their time and thoughts to what promises to be a very magical episode of the series. We will let you know when the show will be airing.
