Green Roof guide from Findaproperty.com
Terraces and rood gardens are a growing trend especially if you're living in a city like London where space is limited. Apparently if all the flat roofs in London were joined up, the space gained would be 24 times the size of Richmond Park! The good news is you don't have to live in a swish mansion flat to get a green roof either as it may be possibly to grow a lawn even on your pitched roof.
Property sales and rental site Findaproperty.com have a good beginner's guide to green roofs to get you started. Dealing with basic questions such as 'why have one?' and 'what is a green roof?' you'll soon find which roofs are suitable for planting, how it improves the green footprint of your home, what you can plant up there and how much it'll cost.
