they also provide a habitat for diverse organisms such as butterflies, slugs, snails, and birds. the green roof utilizes native, flood tolerant plants, that have a high capacity for water absorption and storage. they are economical and have provide great benefits for any building establishment containing a green roof. i believe that every college, university or home should have a green roof to increase habitat for organisms that have lost their habitat from buildings, and reduce runoff. i love the green roof garden, because it’s simple, easy and fun.
