2013 Greenroofs & Walls of the World™ Calendar

 

December features the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY. The Fenimore Art Museum and N.Y. Historical Society are headquartered in an elegant 1930s neo-Georgian Mansion. A new Museum addition features a greenroof with beautiful flagstone terraces surrounding classical English gardens with white wooden gazebos. The waterproofing envelope, protection, drainage and filter fabric for the earth-sheltered Museum are all part of the Ram Tough 250 rubberized asphalt waterproofing system furnished by Barrett Company. Overlooking Otsego Lake, the 38,100 sf vegetated roof features evergreen trees, shrubbery, grasses, deciduous trees, sedum and various annuals.

 

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.
