with Janna Levitt, B.A., B.Arch., OAA of Levitt Goodman Architects and Terry Mcglade, Manager-Gardens in the Sky, Green Roof division, Flynn Canada. Recipient of many gardening awards including 2007 City of Toronto Green Roof Award. Terry has been instrumental in bringing greenroof technology into its own in Canada.
Join us for this day-long workshop to learn how to create a green roof or roof garden on both new and existing buildings. Rooftop gardens improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions, delay storm water runoff, increase habitat for birds, reduce the heat island effect, reduce cooling costs and increase the value of buildings. From structural issues to plant selection, costs to permits, this workshop looks at the planning and implementation of green roofs on both residential and larger buildings.
This workshop is being held at the Toronto Botanical Garden- 777 Lawrence Avenue East Toronto, Ontario for directions go to http://www.torontobotanicalgarden.ca/about/directions.htm
