RE: Living Roofs

They are used on a lot of Norwegian out buildings. See, for example, those at Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Those are kept well cropped by goats, but I know they worked fine for years and years. I don't have the phone number.

Interesting idea, Nikki. I've heard a little about the roofs of the prairie
settlers' sod huts. Rather leaky and buggy, those. Seems to me a more modern
version could avert those problems, but would be quite heavy. I look forward
to other contributions on the subject...

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience with living roofs?  I am building my pottery
studio this spring and am looking at doing a native planting on the rooftop.
Would love to hear from anyone, especially if you can point me to some
resources book, people, or otherwise.
