On the roof of the Pyongyang Electronic Medical Appliances Factory, there grow in good harmony different kinds of ground-covering and flowering plants, trees, flowering shrubs and vines.
According to Ham Hyon Chol, staffer of the factory, there are more than 300 plants in over ten kinds on its roof.
Generally, roof greening adds beauty to cities, reduces noise pollution and makes it possible to use space on roofs in an effective way, thus being widely introduced.
The factory created a garden on the roof to fuse the building and nature into one in order to enhance the cultural and emotional life of employees.
Many employees have a rest there at break.
“I love flowering plants. At break, I always come up here to admire various plants. Then, I am buoyed up and become eager to work,” said Cha Sol Hwa, an employee of the factory.
It was some years ago when the factory introduced roof greening.
In the beginning, only some employees who are fond of growing flowering plants and cultivating gardens were interested in it. But more and more employees got interested and enthusiastic in it, resulting in the present park with a beautiful landscape.
Grape vines giving them cool shade, flowers giving off various good fragrances and luxuriant trees in various shapes are associated with the good care of the employees.
The factory is planning to build an artificial waterfall and pond on the roof for more distinctive roof greening, said Ham.
