A roof garden can turn an otherwise dreary rooftop
into a hidden urban oasis. It is a great way to
indulge one’s green thumb. Even the lack of a
backyard is not enough to deter people with an
inherent love for gardening

1. Outdoor Kitchen Garden
Cooking outdoors is a joy for barbecue lovers. Homeowners can furnish their
roof gardens with kitchen gear to make it suitable for cooking. In addition,
dining out under the stars in a roof garden can make for a dining experience
unlike any other.
2. Party Seating Fixtures
Incorporating fixed seating can make
the overall design of a roof garden
better. It makes the area much more
suitable for party receptions. This way,
homeowners need not use up space
with several chairs to accommodate
guests.
3. Edible Greenery
Planting fruits and vegetables is a good
way of making use of roofs. While not
nearly as ornamental as other plants,
these give homeowners a fresh supply
of good food throughout the year. It
can provide them with an extra source
of income should they choose to sell
the produce.
4. Pool Roof Garden
Adding a pool in the midst of a roof
garden can really make the rooftop a
place of Zen and relaxation. This is a
good addition as long as the roof has
enough firmness and stability to
sustain the pool’s drainage system.
5. Cinema Garden
Setting up an entertainment system in
the midst of a rooftop garden can
make a unique viewing experience for
the whole family. It can make
weekends lovelier and movies much
more enjoyable.
Lush gardens make for an attractive
addition to homes. Living in an urban
area where there is concrete all around
can amplify this so much more. Kent
homeowners may consult professional
garden designers like Oakleigh Manor
to transform plain concrete tops into
lush garden roofs.
