Once a neglected space, the rooftop of Wisma MBSA on Persiaran Perbandaran in Shah Alam, Selangor, has been converted into a flourishing vegetable and fruit garden.An assortment of leafy vegetables, medicinal plants and even roselle flowers and passion fruit vines are being grown in planter boxes and on trellises.
Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) Landscape Department agriculture officer Majidah Md Ali, 45, who was given the task to convert the rooftop on the third floor into an edible garden, said it took five months to produce the luxuriant vista and it had helped to improve the building’s aesthetics.
