Terraces as well as balconies can additionally be used.Different kinds of gardening may be undertaken; flat floor crop growing or flat bed, vertical farming which makes use of walls by creeping plants and hanging pot planting. Remember the hanging gardens of Babylon!

Why Roof Gardening? As force on land keeps on to increase especially in metropolitan areas, roof planting becomes an option. Different reasons comprise improving architectural and decorative designs, climate regulation, own fruit and vegetable supply, habitat for small insects, bees, butterflies, birds, and lizards, amongst others.

Roof gardening offers great recreational openings, not just as a leisure pursuit and diversion but promotes personal activity and exercise while tending the garden. It not only encourages greener areas but promotes efficient waste and water recycling, therefore effecting environmental preservation. Green plants help to capture excess carbon dioxide emitted by automobile and businesses which causes global warming.
