Lightweight planter solution for rooftop gardens
September 15, 2021
Green roofs and rooftop gardens have been some of the most popular garden trends in the last few years, not only from their aesthetic advantage but also from their environmental benefits. While green roofs directly plant vegetation on the rooftop over a waterproof membrane, rooftop gardens plant in a container instead. Rooftop gardens have various advantages, such as maximizing underused space, extending living space, providing habitat for wildlife, reducing the urban heat island effect, and improving air quality. Although green roofs are more effective in insulation and reducing water runoff, using containers is the most economical and flexible option. TerraCast® planters are lightweight, which means maximum flexibility in your design while consuming less energy in transit and installation.
