Roof Top Sedums Bird's Eye View - Green Roof E-Newsletter
Fall 2014 newsletter 

The fall color has been amazing this year, and the color on the green roofs has been equally spectacular. We achieve year-around interest on our green roofs, because we take the extra effort to customize the plant mixes to showcase diversity of seasonal blooms, foliage color, textures, and evergreen attributes. This achieves a green roof that is durable, changes with each season, and is beautiful year-around.

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!
