ROOFTOPS GONE GREEN

摘要

Small Green Roofs: Low-Tech Options for Greener Living (Timber Press) is the first book to focus on small-scale and domestic green roofs, giving homeowners a do-it-yourself, low-cost approach to improving their water conservator and energy costs. Authors Nigel Dunnett, Dusty Gedge, John Little, and Edmund C. Snodgrass, the creator of the first green roof nursery in the U.S, explain that a green roof differs from a rooftop garden because "rather than being growr in individual containers, the plants are in a more continuous layer of soil, which allows interaction between the plants and is more akin to a natural system."
