Chris Brunner - Living Roofs

MHG Meetings

Sponsored By: Metro Hort Group

This lecture will look at the principles of contemporary green roofing practices and how those
principles are being applied to create beautiful, thriving rooftop landscapes. Though often
complex, the basic tenets of green roofs are simple; Chris will challenge the paradigm of
complexity and offer some insight into the expansive possibilities for bringing life to this often
uninhabited frontier.
