Breaking new ground in the rooftop garden at Resources for the Future.

At Resources for the Future, we love breaking new ground when it comes to energy research—and we recognize the importance of unplugging from technology to replenish our mental batteries. The garden team literally breaks new ground to create our own fuel with the most original of energy inputs: the sun!

Our rooftop garden provides an avenue for us to attentively nurture plants; share memories with colleagues (see the gigantic sweet potatoes); and, of course, reap the fruits of our labor. Much like our research, the garden would not function without its team of passionate individuals who deliberately work toward a common goal. And, in this case with our garden, we know that delicious snacks are guaranteed.
