May Wildflower Green Roof photos from Breaking Ground Contracting, Jacksonville

Here are some photos of the Breaking Ground Contracting food and wildflower green roof in Jacksonville.  Even though we've had a terrible drought, the green roof plants have grown very nicely.  This roof is not irrigated with potable water and uses only HVAC condensate.  Right plant, right place with CAM species on the perimeter and C4 species inside the CAM belt.  Model your design for wind and sunlight!  Enjoy the photos and have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend.  Kevin :). 10-20-30 rule met so far!  We have approximately 150 plants species and counting!
