Abstract:
Edwin Gonzalez has a garden different from most gardeners. His is located on the rooftop of the 14-story Battery Park apartment building which was built in 1924 in downtown Asheville. Gonzalez grew up in Puerto Rico and was involved in gardening on the family farm. He received over $300 in plant aid from Project EMMA--Eat better, Move More, Age well--an organization that seeks to increase wellness and health opportunities for participants in the Council on Aging of Buncombe County.
