1. A modular green roof system, comprising: a planter including a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls that cooperate with the bottom wall to form an interior space, anda biodegradable insert within the interior space of the planter including a plurality of sidewalls that cooperate with one another to form an interior space, wherein the insert is adapted to retain a plant matter in the interior space of the insert, the plurality of sidewalls of the insert extending above the plurality of sidewalls of the planter, wherein the plurality of the sidewalls of the insert are adapted to retain a plant matter that extends about the plurality of sidewalls of the planter, and wherein the planter is coupled to a substantially similar adjacent planter. 2. The modular green roof system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sidewalls of the insert angle outwardly from the plurality of sidewalls. 3. The modular green roof system of claim 1, wherein the planter comprises a molded plastic. 4. The modular green roof system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the sidewalls of the planter includes an outwardly-extending tab that is adapted to overlap with a sidewall of the adjacent planter. 5. The modular green roof system of claim 1, wherein the insert comprises at least a select one of a group including wood, cellulose, biodegradable plastic, and paper. 6. The modular green roof system of claim 1, wherein the insert is at least partially coated with a material that retards biodegradation. 7. A method for installing a modular green roof system, comprising: providing a planter that includes a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls each having an upper edge and that cooperate with the bottom wall to form an interior space;providing a biodegradable insert that includes a plurality of sidewalls each having an upper edge and that cooperate with one another to form an interior space;inserting the insert into the interior space of the planter such that the upper edge of the sidewalls of the insert extend upwardly from the upper edge of the sidewalls of the planter;placing and growing a plant matter within the interior space of the insert such that at least a portion of the plant matter extends upwardly from the upper edge of the plurality of sidewalls of the planter;positioning the planter proximate to at least one other planter that is substantially similar to the positioned planter, such that the positioned planter and the at least one other planter are coupled to one another; andallowing the insert to degrade from within the interior space of the planter such that the portion of the plant matter extending upwardly from the upper edge of the sidewalls of the planter abut a portion of plant matter extending upwardly from an upper edge of the at least one other planter. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of inserting the insert includes inserting the insert such that the sidewalls of the insert angle outwardly from the sidewalls of the planter. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of providing the planter includes providing the planter as comprising a molded plastic. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of providing the planter further includes providing at least one of the sidewalls of the planter with an outwardly-extending tab that is adapted to overlap with a sidewall of an adjacent planter. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the step of providing the insert includes providing the insert as comprising at least a select one of a group including wood, cellulose, biodegradable plastic, and paper. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of providing the insert further includes providing the insert as at least partially coated with a material the retards biodegradation. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of providing the planter includes providing the planter as comprising a molded plastic. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of providing the planter further includes providing at least one of the sidewalls of the planter with an outwardly-extending tab that is adapted to overlap with a sidewall of an adjacent planter. 15. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of providing the insert includes providing the insert as comprising at least a select one of a group including wood, cellulose, biodegradable plastic, and paper. 16. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of providing the insert further includes providing the insert as at least partially coated with a material the retards biodegradation.
