Sarsoon seeds from Ghotiki and Multan being grown. This is the third year that the seed has been used in the roof garden. The traditional methods being used in the roof garden are attracting small insects, especially bees! To our delight the bees are choti makhi \u2013 which is becoming so rare now due to chemical farming methods.
