green roof

Botanical interest: Traditionally, green roofs have been utilized in climates with more humidity than ours. This Green Roof is a testing ground to determine performance and suitability of plants for green roof use in our semi-arid climate. Rather than use traditional green roof plants, this Green Roof, which was installed in fall 2007, showcases over 100 species of native and drought tolerant plants.

It’s a fact: This Green Roof was the first publicly accessible green roof in the city of Denver.
