We are adding 1 roof garden at a time to create the most extensive inventory of roof gardens or green walls. The database includes many data fields, but even if they just add the roof location, name and whether or not it is public, private or can be accessible for viewing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda LDay@rooftopgarden.com http://www.rooftopgarden.com/database P.S. we have a nice start on our Resource page where plants suppliers, green roof manufactures can list their links as well.

As you suggest, it would be a better thing if it related to the context of the roof, visually, ecologically and socially. ‘Fifth Facade’ is an attractive term but has the partial implication that the design of the roof should relate to the design of the building.
