This week I had lunch in the roof garden of the 16th Century ‘Soup Kitchen’ in Stafford. The tables in the restaurant and outside on the pavement had very welcome fresh flowers.
The roof area was flat with a split level but overall it gave me a couple of ideas.

Roof Garden Ideas

• Artificial grass is light, easy to clean and water resistant. It can look quite realistic if you select carefully.
• Even heavily perforated containers can be brought into use by the adaptation of black plastic. A series of old braziers contained colourful flowers and herbs.
• The space was divided by wooden partitions to make smaller ‘rooms’. This protected against the sun and provided some welcome shade.
• Walls and the partitions made places for climbers and scramblers like the Blackeyed Susan below.
• Ensure you have adequate access for equipment and visitors
