Fenway Park is 'Going Organic' With NEW Rooftop Garden!

• http://www.trueactivist.com

America's 'Most Beloved Baseball Park' is paving way for a new American dream by 'going organic' and serving fans more nutritious fare from its recently-opened rooftop garden. 

As The Boston Globe reports, Fenway Farms will provide organically-grown food from its rooftop garden for menu items at the EMC Club, operated by Aramark Corp., which oversees the food concessions in the park. The patch of roof above Yawkey Way behind the Fenway Park sign has been transformed to a versatile growing area, which is primed to supply the EMC club with everything from spinach and arugula to organic herbs for its culinary preparations.

The rooftop garden installed on the 1912 building reportedly took a lot of planning. Structural engineers and the park manager had to discern if the roof could take the weight of the garden, where it would be best located so it could take advantage of optimum sunlight, and how to incorporate piping for the watering system.
