The Benefits of Rooftop Gardens
The creation of a roof garden is an excellent option for anyone living or working in an urban, or built-up area, who understands the value of having their own readily accessible green space. You’ll already know that a rooftop garden reduces the negative impact of development, while simultaneously providing environmental, economic and social benefits.
Rooftop gardens help to purify the air, reduce the urban heat island effect, create biodiverse habitats, reduce and stop stormwater runoff and water attenuation. There are even urban rooftop farms being set up as a valuable source of food in our ever-increasingly over-populated towns and cities. And the benefits don’t stop there. An open, green space is of great advantage to us humans too, providing beautiful places to relax and enjoy the environment. Such spaces are recognised as contributing to our physical and mental wellbeing, so creating a rooftop garden is a win-win solution all round.
