It probably provides excellent insulation. I am assuming all the plants are evergreens. If not it is most likely very unsightly during the winter season.

green roofs and green walls are very good things if done right. I've been following their popularity with interest. Remember the new California Academy of Sciences building? Largest "green" building and I think largest green roof.

I think green roof is the wrong way to go, better to cover the roof with solar collectors.
