Roof Gardens and Roof Garden Design
 

Roof Gardens
Roof garden design and construction methods vary greatly, some consist of a layered system that would typically include, a waterproof membrane, a water holding layer, a drainage layer and a planting layer. Other systems are based more on hydroponic principles and consist of a lightweight soil-less hydroponic material in planter bags.

Plants species used for a roof garden vary greatly depending on construction methods and purpose of the roof garden. Grass can be used to cover large areas and 'connect' a roof to the ground. Low maintenance plants such as sedums are popular. Roof gardens may also be 'productive gardens' growing herbs and vegetables.
