Green Roofs and Roof Gardens

With Carolyn Moss, B.Arch, OAA, LEED AP, Principal Architect, MOSS SUND Inc. and Terry McGlade, Horticulturalist and president of Gardens in the Sky, 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.

We hope to offer this workshop again in the Everdale in the City 2008/2009 season.

Workshop will take place at the Barbara Frum Library, Room "B", 20 Covington Rd. (Bathurst and Lawrence). Click here for a map
