Distinguishing Features

 

This Type II: Aromatic Garden Roofmeadow®, edged with gravel, was installed atop a small new building extension. It is a thin system - 2.5 inches of engineered media on a thin fabricated drainage mat. Although the shade has caused the plants to fill the surface slowly, they are thriving in this unusual environment.
