Liana Blomquist, multiple award winner and founder and CEO of Brooklyn Rooftop Botanicals, New York’s first and only beauty rooftop farm that grows over 50 beauty botanicals, joins us on the show today.
Liana started her rooftop farms out of her love for gardening and a desire to bring beauty ingredients closer to home to combat climate change. In this episode, she goes into length to guide us on starting and maintaining such farms regardless of pests and weather changes. She also discusses the various benefits of rooftop farms, including the financial, environmental, social, and psychological benefits. She provides excellent advice for those seeking to start similar farms, including weighing in on the pros and cons and risks you should consider before starting one.
