High above the city, this episode uncovers one of Southeast Asia’s largest rooftop gardens—an ambitious landscape designed as both living rainforest and experimental growing space. Irene Chen tours the garden created by Dr. Francis Ung, where distinct plant zones coexist atop a lightweight soil system developed to support long-term growth. As they move through the space, challenges like water supply and temperate plant care reveal the complexity of cultivating life at elevation. More than a visual spectacle, the garden functions as a research-driven environment, showing how observation, adaptation, and curiosity can reshape what’s possible in urban horticulture.
