I am a huge fan of green roofs. If we have to live in cities let’s make every surface , roof or balcony or pavement as green as possible!

That’s wonderful news – imagine how much unused roofspace there is that could become wildflower meadows 🙂

Such is your poetic spirit, I rather thought they probably got there in a mistake with some compost that was brought in.

There are some very attractive “green buildings”. I agree, let’s use every possible space – rooftops, balconies, walls, whatever – for plants and trees to flourish. It certainly won’t harm the climate!
