The roof of the Vancouver BC Convention Centre is covered with over 2.5 hectares (6 acres) of native grassland. Usually closed to the public, we were able to get a tour and interview with the landscape architect of the project, Bruce Hemstock.
This is part 1 of the "Growing Cities" documentary series shot while traveling in the USA and Canada - June 2009.
