TomBoyceMiami's Jungle Garden in the Sky garden

Garden Type: Rooftop | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Combination I'm Organic!

We are growing ornamentals, 4 kinds of mango’s, tomato’s, chives, and a lot of robellini palms for shade or our costal Miami condo roof top jungle garden.

Our biggest challenges have been the plant root balls over heating and drainage control so we designed our own planters so that there is a thermal break and liners with drains, filters and valves to control runoff.

We have installed drip irrigation with timers and rain sensors.

Now everything is thriving although we had a very cold winter with two damaging freeze warnings.

    Nice looking garden. I love containers and yours look wonderful. Containers are so versatile and can be moved anywhere. I have a few myself, eventhough I have a big yard. A container here and there can add so much more character to any garden. Keep up the green thumb :)
