3. Vegetables: Vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and lettuce can be grown in containers, making them ideal for a rooftop garden.
4. Flowers: Flowers such as marigolds, petunias, and pansies can be grown in containers and used to add color and beauty to your rooftop garden.
5. Fruit trees: Some fruit trees, like dwarf citrus, can be grown in containers and can provide fresh fruit for your kitchen.
6. Grasses: Ornamental grasses like fescue, switchgrass, and bluegrass can add texture, height, and visual interest to your rooftop garden.
7. Shrubs: Shrubs like dwarf boxwood, heather, and lavender can add privacy, greenery, and fragrance to your rooftop garden.
