There are numerous benefits associated with living roofs. Green roofing retains as much as 75 percent of rainwater, preventing excessive runoff and cooling down the shed on hot, sunny days. Roofs planted with moss or similar plants tend to be more durable and longer-lasting, with the plants growing on waterproof membranes with a shallow drainage layer beneath the mesh compost layer.
