Roof Top Sedums Bird's Eye View - Green Roof E-Newsletter
Winter 2015 newsletter 

  

This time of year we like to say we are hibernating as our plants on the rooftops are in their winter dormancy, and everyone is patiently waiting for springtime to arrive. But as we wait, we are busy reflecting on what plants have worked best on past green roof projects, what improvements we can make with designs and plant selections, and looking forward to the challenges of new and exciting projects for the upcoming season.

ABOUT ROOF TOP SEDUMS
The seedlings for Roof Top Sedums were planted in 2006, when co-owner Teresa Nelson collaborated on a green roof project with LiveRoof� LLC in Michigan. This collaboration led Teresa and her sister, Roxanne Nagel, to fill a void in the growing green roof industry. Roof Top Sedums, LLC began providing custom grown green roof vegetation for the LiveRoof� Hybrid Green Roof System from their family farm in Davenport, Iowa. In addition, they have added the LiveWall� Vertical Green Wall System to their product line, and are excited to keep growing and growing!
