Groups of low herbaceous vegetation are selected, in organic shapes, with stone footpaths in-between that facilitate maintenance.
The plants species chosen, mainly native Mediterranean species, are of high resistance to strong winds, high temperatures, low irrigation and maintenance requirements and with high resistance to entomological and phytopathological infestations.
Their root system does not require a large substrate depth for their development and does not damage the roof infrastructure.
