Roof Top Gardening
Growing a garden on your roof top with ease.
Already Used Extensively
- In countries, like Switzerland and Germany it is mandatory to make part of every roof "green".
- Now Roof Top Gardening is being seen more and more in North America.
Advantages
- Aids in the production of better air quality.
- Planting a roof top garden protects and insulates the roof system.
- Aids in lowering urban temperatures. How? Paved surfaces retain heat. Similar to the experience of walking on a paved driveway on a hot summer day vs. walking the grass in a park. The heat is retained on the driveway.
- Provides better storm water management through the fact that the gardens will absorb more water and therefore reduce the runoff water from the buildings.
- Reduces the buildings cost of air conditioning.
