It also helps people who don't have enough space outside home to make a garden. In fact roof garden is very popular these days.

@auronatty It is always nice to get vegetables from the top of our house instead of vendors.

@lady1993 Desert rose like plants can also be cultivated for the busy people. Adeneium flower plant does not require more waters. Just keeping them moist state is enough.

Good points. I like this idea. But houses in the big cities are angular and do not allow such types of roof to most houses with the exception of the tall tower penthouse apartments in downtown areas.

Gardening is indeed so relaxing and makes the house look beautiful. I have around 100 planters all in my three balconies and I tell you its the best place of the whole house. We spend our morning sitting in the balcony and having tea there.
