A little green roof in Cincinnati

thesunflowerfarm — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:13:58 +0000

This is a green roof we grew the plants for and installed. We will also maintain it. The roof is about 3500 sq ft with almost 9,000 plants. The plants are a mix of different low growing sedums as well as native perennials.

I think next week I will sow up my plug trays with the perennial seeds I have that need to be cold stratified. I hand collected a lot of the seed from all the plants at the farm.
