About Roots on the Roof

Roots on the Roof is UBC’s student-run rooftop garden and community space, where growing food, ideas, and connections all happen side by side. We started in 2014 with a simple idea: to create a space where students could get hands-on with gardening, learn about sustainable food systems, and build a community in the heart of campus. Since then, we’ve grown into more than just a garden. We’re a hub for creativity, learning, and connection.

What We Do

At Roots on the Roof, there’s always something growing. Literally and figuratively. Our team tends to the garden, harvesting fresh veggies and herbs, planting new crops each season, and experimenting with creative ways to use what we grow. We also host fun, hands-on events like workshops, socials, and our signature end-of-semester concerts.
