REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings and CitiesWhat did you learn on your green roof tour?
Andrew Milner 4/15/2019 8:48 AMI learned that not all green roofs are created equal. Some are more maintained and manicured than others that can be set with seedums and low-maintenance plants that only require an occasional weeding. Portland seems to be at the forefront of green roof legislature for new buildings.
