Facteur Graine rooftop garden, Paris, France

'Facteur Graine', allotment plots on the roof of the postal sorting office at La Chapelle, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France. Here, postal workers can work at growing vegetables and fruits, learning new skills and producing food. This urban farm was established in 2017 and practises permaculture on the tarmac roof of the building, employing 3 part-time gardeners and welcoming all postal employees as volunteers. Recently, bee hives and a greenhouse have been added to the plot. Picture by Manuel Cohen
