Does Anyone Else Have a Green Roof?

Hi JJ
We have had one for about 5 years now
Re forced inside of shed and added more roof support (timber)
Made 2 trays, lined with pond liner and an absorbent material to retain moisture to get the roof going (old towel did the trick) seep hooks into the gutter. We used soil, compost, vermiculite and grass seed and let nature take its course. All wild flowers have just arrived naturally.
Chop down each Autumn otherwise do nothing. Attracts loads of wildlife so I really like it.
The White on the shed are webs, tons of spiders![/QUOTE]
This is really lovely and the fact that the flowers arrived naturally is amazing. Well done x x

 

Really lovely roof - I love these x x

 

@Jungle Jane sorry bit of a geeky non gardening question are you using sketch up for your computer drawings? if not what programme are you using?

 

this is just wonderful! i love that you allowed nature to take its course and reclaim it naturally i'd love something like this in my garden myself

 

Yeah I use sketch up. Although I find it frustrating at times.

I should update this thread too. Mr Jane and I decided not to go with having a green roof on the pegola in the end. We still havent built it as we are focusing on the dining room at the moment. Hopefully nearing the summer we will be able to though.

I am however hoping to get myself a small tool shed (probably 2'x3') and having a green roof on here though.

 

@Jungle Jane I did think i recognised it. Never used it myself but was trained in Vectorworks and i know how frustrating that can me at times but i do love creating 3d computer renders

Green roof on a tool shed sound like a good idea :-)

what are you doing to your dining room?
