Another theme of this article is the potential for beauty and productivity to share a border with something unsightly. In the case of the article, greenhouses (growing flowers :D) are right next to solid waste landfills which contain some of the nastiest forms of human detritus. Not only are the greenhouses able to exist there, they are actually thriving. This not only produces some nice flowers, it also shows the potential for marginal spaces (such as next to landfills or industrial areas) to be productive and visually arresting (if not always appealing). These visuals are from Baltimore, where a new park is under construction. Mounds of solid waste are being covered over and converted into "mountain peaks," which will provide spectacular views of the bay and Baltimore skyline.
