Re: Roof Gardens/Green Roofs

The term that is used for these designs is actually Green Roofs and Chicago has jumped full force.  Do a search for "Green Roofs" and you will find all the info you need as well as an organization "Green Roofs for Healthy Cities."    Chicago just hosted a conference this spring.  It's a FABULOUS idea from an environmental point of view.

This sounds like a very interesting development and I would like to hear
more about how these gardens are constructed.  Anyone have photos of
such activities?


There was an article in the Chicagoland magazine about that which I think is online.  It was the latest issue which was in the goody bag at the meeting - if you have it. I suspect that the mayors office would would also put you in touch with the relevant people.  My biggest concern would be about the weight issue. 
BTW  I still have two bags of 'stuff' to sort thru - there was so much!
