Flower Box Awards: Roderick's Rooftop Boxes

Our 10th award of 2007!

Reporter and owner: Roderick
Location: Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn

In Roderick's words:

Greetings, AT - the pair of large flower boxes pictured are on my outdoor rooftop deck in Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn. They were originally planted by a friend about a month ago and with my love and care I've been rewarded with these beauties. In just four weeks they've grown tremendously...

Dear Roderick,

It is great to see someone enjoying the luxury of a roof deck; your month of consistent care has really paid off. That also must be very satisfying for your friend to see their gift grow so beautifully. We love how the ivy cascades to veil the table and planter.

We have a little gift in the mail to you: a pot from Ecoforms and seed packets from SelectSeeds.com to help make your gardens grow. Enjoy!

Best,

I think the chair might be from Ikea.

Thanks, AT!!!!!!! I have a sister flower box to this one along with several other smaller pots and couple of large potted Spruces. I bought the chairs (pair) at a stoop sale for $10.00 each. I'm told they are from Ikea. I'm fortunate to have a rooftop deck that's about 700 sq. ft. Love you AT.
