roof garden
Elevated urban greenery
A roof garden is a garden planted on a building's rooftop, whether for aesthetics, growing food, or environmental benefits like insulation and stormwater management.
The term also applies to rooftop terraces with container plants rather than beds: The apartment building has a lovely roof garden where residents can relax.
