Despite being located in the middle of a city, the First Commercial Bank green rooftop has a wide variety of plants.
It forms a complete urban ecosystem with nearby parks, schools, and fields, which can help reduce the risks brought by climate change. The Stepping Stone space is ideal for both flora and fauna, with animals living and feeding in this island-like environment. However, damp habitats, full of decomposing organic matter, are ideal for insects, which may feed on and damage the plants.
To prevent this, we plant the crops in water instead of in dirt, using lightweight clay aggregates, which retain water well, are permeable to air, and are sterile. They ensure the plants get enough water and air, and prevent root rot and bacterial infections. This means the plants can grow well to create this wonderful green environment.
