Food from the Sky (1) has planted a vegetable garden on a shop roof PLANT

in north London – and (2) its founder wants other shops around the country IT

(3) to do the same. The project, (4) called Food from the Sky, DO/CALL

(4) was initiated by former silversmith and art consultant Azul-Valerie INITIATE

Thome. It opened last May, when a crane (5) lifted 10 tonnes of compost LIFT

and 300 green (6) recycling boxes on to the roof. Now the garden RECYCLE

(7) is producing enough vegetables (8) to sell downstairs every PRODUCE/SELL

Friday, and (9) has just won a community prize at the Co-operative's annual WIN

People and Environment Achievement Awards.

There (10) is an impressive variety of vegetables – from peas and BE

potatoes to cabbages and purple broccoli – alongside flowers, tiny strawberry and raspberry plants, and a composting area. Here, fruit and vegetables (11) left LEAVE

unsold each day (12) are mulched (измельчать), along with woody MULCH

branches and soil, by the 20 people who (13) volunteer in the garden. VOLUNTEER

The conditions are perfect for the plants: the warmth from the supermarket's

heating and lighting systems (14) comes up through the roof, sparing COME

the seeds the (15) worst of the frosts – and there are no snails, while pigeons BAD

(16) are scared away by CDs (17)hanging from the perimeter fence. SCARE/HANG

Thome's ultimate aim is "(18)to show that produce can (19)be grown SHOW/GROW

in cities, and (20) sold locally. SELL
