"What is a roof-top garden?"
"Please come here and look at this model here. You can have a small garden on your roof. You could grow some vegetable plants, fruits and creepers here."
This is how discussions at our office go. If there is a lady, then she would ask some more questions about the type of soil, plants she could grow and so on. If it is a gentleman, he would like to know if water will seep, will the garden increase the weight on the ceiling and so on. But people appreciate the concept.
Rooftop gardens can also help absorb heat and act as insulators, reducing the energy needed for cooling or heating; provide low-cost food and also a refuge for bird, bees and insects. These benefits are clearly transferable to your locality and urban agriculture can play an important role in strengthening the resilience of cities and their populations against the impacts of climate change. According to the UN Population Fund, about half the world population already lives in urban areas with the number expected to reach some five billion by 2030.
Being able to supply their own fruit and vegetables is clearly an advantage in a time of food scarcity and rising prices. And it’s also not impossible. Hong Kong and Singapore, for example, both produce more than 20% of their meat and vegetables within the city limits. As well as the environmental and economic benefits, rooftop gardens also bring a much needed splash of colour to our rather grey concrete jungles so lets get gardening!
All the villas in Samskruti Maurya have access to a small garden, most of them being roof-top. Only the ones who experienced it will know the joy of eating something from your own garden. It not just tastes better but also is an healthier and smarter choice. If you could grow only 5-10 kgs of vegetables depending on the space you have after allocating a small space for the good old Tulsi, you could still save around 700-1000 rupees a month.
