Also known as “living roofs,” green roofs absorb rainwater, provide insulation, create a habitat for wildlife, help to lower urban air temperatures and provide an urban oasis and edible landscape.

As well as offering another edible landscape possibility, living walls offer a real benefit in rain water mitigation with the potential for reducing the burden on storm sewers and decreasing the pollution into water systems.

The vegetation also provides a cooling effect in summer, improves the air quality, the beauty of the environment, and the overall sense of well being.
