  1. WHY TRY TO GROW A GARDEN ON A ROOF?????

  2. PLUS STORMWATER POLLUTION RUNOFF REDUCTION PLUS CO2 ABSORPTION PLUS LESS ELECTRICITY FOR AIR CONDITIONING WHICH MEANS LESS BURNING OF CARBON FUELS PLUS EXTENDED ROOF LIFE

  3. Green Building Rating System For Existing Buildings Upgrades, Operations and Maintenance I

  4. EXTENSIVE SYSTEMS DEPTH OF 4 TO 6 INCHES LAYERS INCLUDING WATERPROOF MEMBRANE, DRAINAGE, LIGHT WEIGHT SOIL MATRIX AND ROOT BARRIER PLANTINGS LIMITED TO SEDUMS, ALPINES AND VERY DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS

  5. EXISTING PLANT PALATE SUCKS!!!!!!

  6. HOW MUCH ARE THESE PLANTS REALLY TRANSPIRING?

  7. Mmmmmmm…………… CONVENTIONAL LANDSCAPE PLANTS GROWING ON CONCRETE IN THE SUMMER IN TEXAS.

  8. MOST EFFICIENT IRRIGATION METHOD GREEN PRODUCT: TURNING RECYCLED SODA BOTTLES INTO PERMENANT LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS REDUCE THE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT IN CITIES REDUCING NEED FOR HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS AND FERTILIZER APPLICATION REDUCING ELECTRICITY NEEDS FOR HVAC IN BUILDINGS EXCHANGE CO2 FOR O2 REDUCE STORMWATER RUNOFF THROUGH BIORETENTION OF THE WATER
