We love green roofs but have a short attention span, so this is an idea whose time has definitely come- A nursery devoted to growing plants specifically for green roofs. "We specialize in the drought-tolerant, shallow rooted species adapted to extensive and semi-extensive green roofs. We have many species of plug-size plants in stock, and are happy to custom grow any species not in stock, for your project." Based in upstate New York, They deliver to Eastern Canada, New England or New York on the day you need them. They are "committed to running an environmentally sustainable business, which uses renewable energy, environmentally benign growing practices, is a committed member of local community, and provides a good livelihood for its employees." Instant green roofs- What a wonderful idea. ::MotherPlants via ::Groovy Green
