Living Parapet's on our Living Roof!
Friends:
This week the Habitat Gardens team fabricated all of the understructure for the Vegetative Roof's parapets [the structures that "edge" the vegetative roof]. Thanks to a great design by Evodesign, the parapets will be loaded up with lots of natural "found objects" from pine coans to pieces of ceramics and granite. Over the next few weeks we will be installing these parapets against the beutiful plants that are coming on line.
Come down this week! Starting Tuesday we are planing the roof!
