18、rs, water running into little pools, birds making their homes in boxes, the 9,500-square-meter Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but theres a difference.

19、ofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps thats why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to mod
20、erate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot.

24、still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings.
