Excerpt:

Soaring five storeys high in the middle of Civic’s concrete jungle lies a hidden vegetable garden that is possibly the highest veggie patch in the city.

The rooftop garden at 3 Kingsley Street has remained Canberra’s best-kept secret for more than a decade due to its out-of-sight location. Although it’s part of ANU accommodation, the lofty garden is nurtured by the public through the Canberra Food Co-op.

At ground level, Canberra Food Co-op garnishes 150 lunches daily with freshly harvested tomatoes, beans and zucchini grown on the fifth floor, where three garden beds are partly shaded by olive trees, each raised bed stretching 9.6 metres long and 1.6 to 2.4m wide.

The towering garden’s view takes in Black Mountain, the ANU campus and the bustling streets below, where pedestrians rush around like ants on a pavement.

A weekend gardening club, run by volunteers at the Canberra Food Co-op, takes the elevator every Saturday to water, prune, weed, fertilise and harvest their crop.
