rooftop gardens
Sky-high planting spaces
Rooftop gardens are planted areas on building tops, used for growing vegetables, flowers, or ornamental plants.
They appear on residential buildings, restaurants, and commercial structures.
Beyond aesthetics, rooftop gardens provide insulation, reduce urban heat, and manage stormwater runoff: The hotel's rooftop garden supplies herbs to its kitchen.
