The eThekwini municipality of Durban has implemented the Priority Zone Project in order to transform the inner city from a dirty crime-ridden area into a pleasant experience for all. One of the highlights of the zone is the rooftop garden above the FMPZ headquarters. A complete surprise as you climb the stairs- a full on working vegetable and indigenous succulent garden- aubergines, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, lettuce, spinach and enough basil to feed a small army of pesto eaters. Not only have they made use of a totally wasted urban space but they use solar power, harvested rain water and recycled tires and pallets to create the planting beds and walkways.
