Green Roofs, Wildflowers and Native Plants

Rooftops offer a new way to showcase the wonder of Florida's native plants.
Urban Green.  Wildflowers on the roof offer a new perspective in which to consider native plants
Living roofs, planted with native wildflowers provide many benefits, including;
  • cleansing of stormwater
  • creation of habitat for pollinators, birds, and even wildlife
  • fix nitrogen and other nutrients
  • scavenge carbon and CO2
  • reduce heat island effect
  • attenuate stormwater runoff
  • create a sense of place
and so much more.

Native Plant Green roofs are amazing!
