In the heart of this concrete and glass metropolis, I've discovered a new way of life, one that brings nature back to the city. As a high school biology teacher, I've had a dream – to create a rooftop farm atop our school, a green space where children can touch life, observe it, and understand it.

The idea began as a walk on the school's rooftop, where I stumbled upon a forgotten patch of open space. Why not turn it into a farm? A place where students could watch plants grow from seeds into thriving greenery. But I knew traditional soil wouldn't work; it's too heavy, and maintenance is complicated.

Just when I was searching for solutions, I came across "π Soil". This innovative plant substrate is made from renewable materials, making it not only eco-friendly but also incredibly lightweight and easy to transport to the rooftop. What's more, its water retention and air permeability are exceptional, providing the perfect environment for plant growth.

I started planting with the students. Using "π Soil", we grew tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, and even some flowers. Every day, the children would rush to the rooftop to check on the plants, observing and recording their progress. They were amazed to see how lush the plants could grow without soil.The rooftop farm became our outdoor classroom. Here, students learned botany and the joy of caring for living things. They understood how plants absorb water and nutrients through their roots and experienced the pleasure of gardening.

Over time, the rooftop farm has become a source of pride for our school. It offers children a space to learn and relax, and it positively impacts the surrounding environment. Our rooftop farm proves that even in the heart of the city, we can create an urban oasis.

Now, I dream of replicating this rooftop farm model in more schools and every corner of the community. I believe that with innovative planting substrates like "π Soil," we can involve more people in green living and work together towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
