Gardening up on the Roof in Dhaka

The Farming World

Available for over a year

Gardens big enough to feed whole families thrive high above Dhaka's streets. Mr Sultan, Chairman of the Roof Garden Association, grows mango, capsicum, lemon, banana, pomegranate, pomelo, guava, lao, karamcha, stawberries – and roses. There's enough to feed a family and have some left over to sell.
