Urban Sky Gardens

These urban sky gardens are on the upper floors of commercial buildings on the north side of the 1000, 1100 and 1200 blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue NW. They are spied from the 270-foot observation deck in the clock tower of the Old Post Office Pavilion. Though perhaps not fully "green roofs", they nevertheless absorb rain and pollution and release oxygen while providing secluded park-like settings high above the noise of the streets below.
