| Framing in a lightweight DIY Green Roof for Prepper Homestead |
Native materials can be sustainable when harvested with consideration. Saw palmetto grows like crazy here in Florida and across the southeastern US.

| Saw palmetto clad utility shed based on native 'Chickee' architecture |
I've always been fascinated with the fronds as building materials ever since I was a youngster growing up at the edge of the everglades where native Floridians would roof their chickee houses with palm and palmetto fronds.
Here is a utility/feed storage shed I built with a cheapo diy green roof and saw palmetto clad walls. The night blooming moonflower has taken over (as most morning glories do eventually) on the lightweight green roof.
I like the nature colors and texture and of course as an outdoors soul, love the camoflauge effect. #architecture #sustainability #nativeplants #prepper #homestead #permaculture
