Friends of urban agriculture take on wildflowers and transit

This may go down as the week friends of urban agriculture took on all comers. Wildflower fans maintain that there shouldn't be fruit orchards, transit advocates saying there should be no urban agriculture at all! But maybe there is space for growing flowers in the city?

-If you're in the green roofing business I would like to direct your attention to the ultimate guide demonstrating how green infrastructure (like green roofs) can overcome the urban heat island effect. These kids in New York City are already firmly on board, they've started a petition to hopefully have green roofs installed on all NYC schools! Here's the petition if you want to go straight to it.

-Lastly here's a couple of GILA (green infrastructure, living architecture) stories from some lightly reported places: Thailand, Nepal and China.
