Benefits of Rooftop Gardening

CHEMICAL FREE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Rooftop gardening can be a very effective solution at this when we hardly find chemical free fruits and vegetables in market. We can grow fruits and vegetables plant on different container or raised garden bed on the open roof space. Any one can totally depend on rooftop harvest for his family if he grows those on roof with full dedication.

MENTAL PEACE & RELAXATION

Rooftop gardens provide contact with nature in places where that has become a bit of a luxury, such as in big crowded cities.According to a study by the University of Exeter Medical School, having regular contact with nature and green spaces in urban areas can help to keep you mentally healthy and aid with your overall happiness. In addition, because of the decreased pollution levels and the increase in water and air quality provided by rooftops, demands for health care and stress could be reduced.Less stress levels also means happier and more productive employees, and therefore easier employee recruitment for companies.

IMPROVED AIR QUALITY

Rooftop gardens contribute to the reduction and filtering of polluted air particles and gases, not only through the plants and the photosynthesis process, but also by deposition in the growing space.Green roofs may also help reduce the distribution of dust in the air and the production of smog, which leads to decreasing greenhouse emissions in urban areas.

INSULATE AGAINST HEAT AND SOUND

Rooftop gardens can also lead to less and more effective use of energy. They provide great insulation, retaining heat in winter and keeping temperatures cool in summer.This translates into less air conditioning systems being put to work in summer and less heating used in winter, hence the conservation of energy and subsequently money.

EFFECTIVE USE OF RAINWATER

Plants on green roofs use the rain immediately, and sometimes the excess is stored so that it can be used later. In rainy season, rooftop gardens can retain up to 80% of rainfall while in winter this can be up to 40%. After the water is used it it is returned to the atmosphere through transpiration and evaporation. Plants in rooftops not only retain rainwater, but also help to moderate its temperature, acting as natural filters for any water that runs off the building. The chances of water runoff, however, is also decreased by rooftop gardens, reducing the impact this may have to the city and the possibility of local flooding.

INCREASE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF Roof

One of the great benefits of roof gardens, vertical gardens and green roofs is that by protecting the underlying roof covering, they extend the life of the existing roof fabric by up to 200%. A green roof protects the roof membrane from climatic extremes and physical abuse, thereby greatly increasing the life expectancy of the roof.

ROOF GARDENS PROVIDE DIVERSE HABITATS

Roof gardens, when planted with indigenous flora, can provide important habitats for native bird and insect populations. Green roofs create biodiversity.
