Rooftop gardens are not a new idea.About 2,600 years ago,people in Ancient (
Mesopotamia built rooftop gardens.There were such gardens in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt.
These gardens were very important.Many ancient cities had walls.If an army attacked (the
city,the people hid behind the walls.The army usually tried to burn the city's food,so the people in
the city kept their gardens on top of their walls.That way,they could continue to grow food.
Today's rooftop gardens don't keep us alive,but they still have nice benefits().Plants take
in heat to make the whole building cooler.As a result,people in the building use their air
conditioners less.It means more electricity()will be saved.One study found that if every roof in
Tokyo had a garden,the city would save more than a million dollars a day on electricity.
Rooftop gardening is hard.Here are a few tips.First of all,be safe.Build a fence around your
garden.You don't want the wind to blow plants off your roof!Also,remember that rooftop gardens
get more sun.If you have a plant that shouldn't get too much sun,remember to put it in the shade
sometimes.
There are many other things to keep in mind before you start a rooftop garden.Do some research
and then give it a try.You'll make your little part of the city much nicer.
