All Images by B. Alter The roof garden at Toronto’s City Hall had formerly been an abandoned and desolate space around a podium. The building itself was architecturally acclaimed when it was built 45 years ago but the podium area never quite worked. It has now been turned into a magnificent public garden for city hall and local employees to enjoy. TreeHugger Lloyd was at the opening in May and now we have revisited it to see how the 35,000 sq.ft. garden has grown and developed with all the sun and rain of the last few months.
