Terrace Gardens (Rooftop Gardens/Rooftop Green Spaces)
Terrace gardens, also known as rooftop gardens or rooftop green spaces, are garden areas created on the rooftops or terraces of buildings. These gardens serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, particularly in urban environments where space is limited.
• Space Utilization:
Effective Use: Terrace gardens effectively utilize unused rooftop or terrace spaces, transforming them into green oases in urban settings.
• Aesthetic Appeal:
Visual Enhancement: Enhancing the visual appeal of buildings, terrace gardens feature a variety of plants, flowers, and even small trees, creating a peaceful and natural environment.
• Environmental Benefits:
Sustainability: Reduces heat absorption and energy consumption, acting as insulators that lower heating and cooling costs and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Storm water Management: Absorbs and slows down rainwater runoff, reducing flooding risks and soil erosion. Biodiversity: Attracts wildlife like birds, bees, and butterflies, contributing to urban biodiversity.
• Urban Agriculture:
Local Food Production: Some terrace gardens are designed for growing vegetables, herbs, and fruits, promoting local food production and reducing carbon footprints.
• Recreation and Relaxation:
Relaxation Spaces: Includes seating areas, walking paths, and recreational spaces for residents and employees to relax and unwind.
• Maintenance:
Regular Care: Regular watering, pruning, and soil care are essential for maintaining healthy and vibrant terrace gardens.
