Backstory
The Hazelworks Rooftop Sproutery began as one tenant's stubborn refusal to let a tar-and-gravel rooftop go to waste. Over several years it expanded from a single planter box to a full growing operation, quietly becoming a neighborhood fixture known to insiders as a place where information, seedlings, and small favors are exchanged with equal informality.
