With a roof garden, do you mean a garden on the roof? Really? The other weekend when we were in Vietnam, we some roof gardens from our hotel room. We took shots of those roof gardens. It seems to me that Vietnamese are plant lovers hence their small space on the roof are made into gardens so they can have some plants that they say would give them oxygen. They mostly living on tall buildings.

:)What a great job Zigs. You really are very creative and passionate, very inspiring. It's really a private little kingdom up there(y) . The yuccas along with the sedum will really work. How would some creeping/hangie down type plants work too flowing off the rooftop?:D

Roof garden :eek: That reminds of Plants Vs. Zombies!

Haha. Just kidding.

That is a really nice project. It's amazing when you find great things hidden under rubble and weeds. It would be great to have one, but my cats are always climbing the roof.

I had the very same thought, lol. As soon as I read the title I couldn't stop thinking about plant vs. zombies ;) Very cool project zigs, I see why you did this where you did it though ;) You found the perfect spot!

Those LED lights look very nice and bright:)
You can buy inexpensive LED lights in IKEA. I went there around two weeks ago and saw a lot of them:)
