A roof garden, terrace garden, also called green roof,[1]​[2]​[3]​ is any garden located on the roof of a building. In addition to the decorative and ecological effect they generate, roof gardens can provide food, acoustic insulation and temperature control. They also serve as a place of recreation. A roof garden differs from a green roof in that it seeks to be an aesthetically pleasing space for leisure and living in nature, while in the green roof the main concern is to maximize the benefits of the energy and coverage provided by the insulation.
