Urban Gardening – an important part of urban planning and development

A rooftop garden is an outdoor living space with room for sitting, lying down, grilling and eating: a popular place on summer evenings. For residents of large cities, urban gardening has both health and social value. Maintaining a roof garden does not cost as much as is often thought. If you are a gardener and dream of returning to nature in the city, you may find plenty of inspiration here.
