Re: green roofs

The Malletts Creek library branch of the Ann Arbor
District Library had a green roof installed in
October, 2003. It uses the German, layering method and
is working just fine four-plus years later. I was
lucky enough to be on the roof when they installed the
medium and then, two weeks later, when the plant plugs
(many varieties of sedum) went in.

If you're interested, this article describes that
roof, including a plant list:
