While out on a culinary adventure yesterday, my friend took me to The Garden, a lovely rooftop cafe, to try their smoothies and sweets. The cafe is known for its exquisite desserts by French Chef Eric Sinnig and its vertical gardening–one of the cooler and more recent trends in urban horticulture. Projects like Wonder Beirut Forest and Beirut Green Project want to cover the top of every building in Beirut with plants and trees–and many in Beirut are interested in making Beirut a garden city. But as the NYTimes pointed out this week-end, you can tend a vertical garden wherever you are. With outdoor organic food markets, vertical gardens and gourmet organic supermarkets, living a “green” life in Beirut with a focus on sustainability is not only possible–but also fun.
