| Florida Extensive Green Roof in Jacksonville, Florida |
The plants are a blend of native wildflowers, grasses, succulents, herbs and more.
After enduring early summer droughts and two tropical storms, the roof is full of pollinators and looks magnificent.

Designing a structure to have a green roof, or retrofitting an existing building, can be costly, though there may be a number of benefits. A green roof may contribute to the energy efficiency of a building, while the roof itself may last longer than a traditionally constructed one.
