2013 Greenroofs & Walls of the World™ Calendar

Designed by Roofmeadow, the green roof sits on a waterproofing membrane which protects a priceless and historic art collection. Established with pre-grown Sedum mats that were interplanted with perennials, the extensive green roof is unusual because of its ability to support flowering plants in a thin, un-irrigated assembly.

The Greenroofs & Walls™ of the World Calendar series combines two of our most popular destinations on Greenroofs.com: The Greenroof & Greenwall Projects Database and Upcoming Events.
