A rooftop garden installation on top of a garage can be a beautiful addition to any urban space. Using a mix of planters and perennials, the installation was designed to incorporate both edible and non-edible plants. Mixing vegetables and herbs with perennial flowers and shrubs created a lush and diverse garden that is not only visually appealing but also productive. The garden is arranged in a way that maximizes space while also providing enough room for each plant to grow and flourish. With minimal care and attention, a rooftop garden will provide fresh produce and a serene environment for years to come.

design: Studio TOOP, 2008 location: Driebergen, NL status: built in 2008, Tuinvreugd photo: Jolanthe Lalkens, 2010 A letter from the town of Driebergen explaining that there were subsidies available if residents wanted to build a rainwater catchment in their garden was the impulse necessary for Ben and Ine to finally redo their garden. About to start retirement they had more time to garden and enjoy being at home. Ine hd been a gardener for years and looked for the opportunity to spend more time on the hobby and Ben was already working out the technical details of the rainwater catchment and ponds. Studio TOOP helped them translate their wishes and interests into a clear design that made smart use of the small elevation change in the garden. Sequences of steps and raised beds separate each section of the garden. Three lines - a row of three ponds, a row of crab apple trees and a rose covered pergola - emphasize the gardens length. Each pond is 15 cm lower than the next, allowing the water to flows from one to another, and then to another lower lying pond at the end of the pergola. Under a lid that works as a bench integrated into two of the raised beds are the rainwater tanks.
