(Because, why not?)<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As Spring hits across the country, we all get excited about landscapes greening up and blooms happening in the ground and on the trees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently, I was asked by a local Master Gardener group to write about green (vegetated) roofs. This time of year, they are very busy answering horticultural questions to prepare owners for the growing season ahead, so I thought it was a timely ask!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Take a look at the green roof introduction and overview </span><a href="https://hennepinmastergardeners.org/hennepin-county-master-gardener-has-unique-perspective-on-gardens-in-the-sky/" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">blog here</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We also recently hung out at the Central States ASLA conference and met a lot of designers looking to help their clients alleviate their stormwater management issues while providing some awesome finished looks to their sites! The conference was in St. Louis, home of the great Missouri Botanic Gardens where many species were in bloom and smelling great!</span><br />

I'm also looking forward to meeting new folks at the National Women in Roofing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Expo always proves to impress with new trade show booths, new ideas, and showcasing manufacturers proven products. Networking on the side is also where it's at!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Who wouldn't want to take a break and walk around outside, dip into dive bars to hear some live Nashville music, and even hit up some museums??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you are headed there Feb 9-13 let me know, love to chat all things green (vegetated) roofs!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Let's hope the conference proves innovative and inspirational in Chicago!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The work we do in the green roof industry is valuable on multiple levels. Not only are we bringing nature back into the built environment, but we are managing stormwater, contributing to building efficiency, and saving roof replacement costs (and products).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Clients like working with my company, <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof</a>, because we can provide boutique designs that hit each benefit they are interested in. In other words, if an owner stares at a gravel roof very day, and would rather look at plants that change color and texture throughout the year, we can make it happen. If a client is mostly interested in the bottom line, with a boost of marketable stewardship, well then, we can work up the ROI that makes sense for the site. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I also appreciate customers who share their observations on the evolving green roofs. Really, I'm talking about improving eco-system habitats! Bees, moths, butterflies, bats, birds, along with so many other insects find a home and resources throughout the year. Champions of theses roofs understand the need for periodic <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/2013/02/greenformation/" target="_blank">maintenance</a> and plant diversity. Resilience is the key!</span><br />

What plans do you have for your at grade landscaping and rooftops? Do you have a regular maintenance program established for your green roof? Are you in the installation phase of construction and in need of overburden products?<br />
<br />
AD Greenroof has been engaging in these questions and projects hard core this year! We have also been busy creating relationships starting with lunch and learns to professional firms. Please contact <a href="mailto:angie@adgreenroof.com" target="_blank">me </a>if you'd like one for your office! We can provide AIA and ASLA learning units.<br />
<br />
Good news on the speaker engagement, front, too! I will be presenting on storm water management of intensive green roofs over the next few months. Take a look at our <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">website</a> for the upcoming conferences and register if you're interested!<br />

I got a chance to get a penthouse view of the Target Center in Minneapolis recently. Check out the roof from this angle:<br />

(Date stamp: March 8!)<br />
<br />
Over the winter, I had much time to network, work on designs, and build the maintenance programs for the year. However, today I took an extended lunch out on a patio without wearing a jacket, soaking up the sun with a colleague. We all deserve a little extra vitamin D!<br />
<br />
Earlier this spring, we planned an event to join regional environmental organizations in a discussion on green roofs. Yes, cocktails will be served in an informal charrette style meeting! Join us for the free tour and event on March 24 in St Paul. <a href="http://eepurl.com/bTepir" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://eepurl.com/bTepir</a><br />

Having been in business now for three years, I hear myself saying frequently, "We Can Do It!" We are free to make our own choices, only limited by the terms and conditions of the contract. Several scenarios that came to fruition this year:<br />
"Can you provide early spring color?" Yes, we can do that by adding bulbs in the berms.<br />
"Is it possible to have coverage immediately?" We can do that!<br />
"Can you deliver the WBE hours needed for this grant?" Yes we can, please add us to the team! <br />
"By the way, can you prune back these vines, even though you are here to winterize my roof?" Absolutely, we can do that, too!<br />
<br />

Sorry for my online absence, but in the land of 10,000+ lakes, we tend to cram as much into the growing season as possible.<br />
<br />

I guess I enjoy the workhorse part of horticulture, meaning my preferences in beautiful plants stem from their ability to perform in a certain function. This could be edible fruit production, resources for pollinators, little need for maintenance, or selecting vegetation that has extensive root systems that help in eroded sites.<br />
<br />
My selection of native perennials on green roofs (albeit limited based on soil depths) helps the pollinators who might have a hard time finding nectar and pollen in the urban environment. The grasses I choose for at grade landscape designs are ornamental, yet naturalized to the region, and growing asparagus along side them brings more diversity while keeping textural elements in the background.<br />
<br />

I grow rainbow swiss chard and bok choy in my "ornamental" beds because
it's protected just enough from the hot sun, and I can harvest at a
moments notice. And, let me say that my "ornamental beds" are nothing more than columbine, bee balm, 'Karl Forester' and miscanthus grasses, black eye susan, chives, purple cone flower, a mini-blueberry shrub, and wild indigo. Nothing fancy!</div>

She was curious how the green roof was retaining storm water this year, compared to last year.<br />
Hey, Minnesotans, remember when we had all the flooding last spring and early summer with record high rain falls? News reports highlighted that much of the problem came from runoff from impervious surfaces (roofs, parking lots, roads)- and nature had reached its carrying capacity. I<a href="http://adgreenroof.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html" target="_blank"> blogged</a> about this dramatic event last year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Take a look at how a vegetated roof can perform to alleviate the damage from stormwater runoff from impervious areas! You can see that in a normal year (2015) green roofs designed with either 8" or 16" soil can retain almost, or all of, the rain. However, even the extremes of 2014 spring, green roofs had already reached their saturated capacity and were only able to capture about half of the storm water. The systems did detain the rain for several hours before runoff, however.<br />

Last fall, our alternate proposal came in under budget (how often can you say that in our industry?! Haha). So, we designed some berms and permanent irrigation to make this a really robust and diverse roof. The subtle berms mimic the surrounding landscape and are planted with native forbs and naturalized spring bulbs. We partnered with an installer, Refuge Landscape, and purchased materials from Hanging Gardens. <br />

The client is Olympic Hills Golf Course. They are undergoing a major renovation around their property incorporating native plantings. The addition where we installed the green roof is visible from the restaurant and patio; and will be a common backdrop during weddings. During the installation, we had many curious and excited onlookers- during rain and shine. One member commented, "Every day is like Christmas out here!"<br />

Shows take planning (which ones are the best to reach target markets), cost money to develop a good booth, staff time, and usually travel costs. In addition to planning, working the show, and attending, there is the follow up after. And, what is the return on investment? How can you measure if the new relationships will lead to business? What about existing clients and getting face time with them at the show?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6oI5Qm1tZvfjkW7SzZTNnSQkLiAqzHRRkhGgXNE1b5E9_6BdwErFUAk-TEznvwtyuuwzGmJf-SzQ6qNlYt5_jrErMy1P8sk80wieDW_67JuvJF6vv5hoKHfqHuOp3qUPahFvcJUC6_Y/s1600/2010midamtradeshowfloor11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir6oI5Qm1tZvfjkW7SzZTNnSQkLiAqzHRRkhGgXNE1b5E9_6BdwErFUAk-TEznvwtyuuwzGmJf-SzQ6qNlYt5_jrErMy1P8sk80wieDW_67JuvJF6vv5hoKHfqHuOp3qUPahFvcJUC6_Y/s200/2010midamtradeshowfloor11.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

As we rely more on the digital world for business, trade shows face increased scrutiny from business leaders in measuring their effectiveness. Linda Velazquez is the creative and business arm behind Greenroofs.com, our industry supported website. I was introduced to her early in my career, when I was still in MSU's grad school program, at my first green roof trade show and conference. Several years ago she and her team launched a Virtual Summit- a low cost and travel-free alternative to attending a trade show. <br />
<br />
This year, she asked me to prepare a presentation of my choosing, record it, and make some videos to introduce and close the presentation. During the summit, you can watch numerous other presenters, chat with sponsors, and enter the virtual trade show to learn more about the companies. Cool, huh? I loved the experience of preparing the presentation, learning how to record it, and using my phone and computer to video a trailer.<br />
<br />
My presentation is called <a href="http://www.greenroofs.com/virtualsummit/virtualsummit-agenda.htm#AngieDurhman">Pollinators on Parapets</a>. Here’s the YouTube trailer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAkN7C99sh4&feature=youtu.behttp://">preview</a>. To register for the 2015 <a href="http://www.greenroofs.com/virtualsummit/virtualsummit.htm">Greenroofs.com Virtual Summit</a>, just click the hyperlink. And to follow up from the summit, Linda wrote an excellent summary of the presentation in her <a href="http://www.greenroofs.com/blog/2015/05/07/now-playing-at-the-virtual-summit-2015-pollinators-on-the-parapets-by-angie-durhman/">Sky Gardens blog</a>!<br />

Like many people in my industry, I love this time of year. The roofs are waking up, we get back out to the field to explore the new growth, and evaluate any problems that might have occurred over winter. Last week I was fortunate enough to get out to five local roofs to clean up organic matter, collect soil samples, and take a few snapshots of some early blooms.<br />
<br />
This is also an ideal installation time for green roofs! AD Greenroof is working on a small installation this week in Eden Prairie, MN. Over winter we contracted by a design-build firm in town to design a green roof - this one includes irrigation, berms, <i>Sedum</i> and natives. I anticipate lots of pollinators will be visiting this site, too! <br />

Last month we were part of a 5,000 sf agricultural roof installation in Chicago. It's a wonderful project with high visibility. I look forward to hearing more about the crops they grow, what is successful and how they will use it in the restaurant they are building below. <br />

We started sowing some seeds in my basement last weekend for the at grade community garden, and am completely excited about the upcoming season!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSAzbOfa5p83oNM0JUXW7LDUowWmk2DHA6x0La5H2Hl3Aj2P3RqKacSuOaX-ucw4n_kxQJ6tuV5WI0ZaaAEURHyNR9fZ55Qg5djnn6GQReM-dM2z3VyP2hYBotLaz6vZswWog1Z5-uJWU/s1600/2014-02-26+16.56.22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSAzbOfa5p83oNM0JUXW7LDUowWmk2DHA6x0La5H2Hl3Aj2P3RqKacSuOaX-ucw4n_kxQJ6tuV5WI0ZaaAEURHyNR9fZ55Qg5djnn6GQReM-dM2z3VyP2hYBotLaz6vZswWog1Z5-uJWU/s1600/2014-02-26+16.56.22.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a></div>
<br />
I am also excited about the increased interest in edible rooftop gardening in the Midwest. It takes a special client's vision and the right structural loads, but the concepts of growing herbs, vegetables, and some fruits on our rooftops has become more than a dream for some!<br />
<br />
High altitude farming offers many options to meet short and long term goals for my clients. As we work together to complete feasibility studies, our conversations focus on the roof program. I have a client who wants to grow hops on the roof. This will provide her with a trellis structure and shade for the employees and visitors. She has talked about marketing a beer tasting that will incorporate the mature hops as part of the learning experience for the guests. <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof </a>has another client with somewhat limited with structural loads, so we will be planning container gardening in the areas we can have more weight, and simplify other permanent vegetated roof systems in limited dead load areas. Both clients are working to resolve the accessibility to their roofs, and can break the budget on some
buildings, but it is important to get safe access for the employees and
visitors.<br />
<br />
These two examples are just the start of the larger discussions we are starting to have about the management of high altitude agriculture. Use of organic practices, cover crops, honeybees, selecting plants for products, and creating a harvesting area are just the start of some considerations as we finalize the budget. Stay tuned to see if and where these project go and grow! <br />

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Students periodically ask me about my job or how green roofs work. Below is an excerpt Q&A from a high school student inquiring about starting gardening club at school that I thought I'd share.</div>
<br />
<span class="im"></span><br />
<div>
1) Why do you think that gardening is important to society?</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs9GxZYJ77rQ3eES4wVx1881O7F-GEfigknvMgZRyK8L8ukWZBMzUwjdO1mQPWlUPrO1U7SYonkADtDIblLIsxpaotcgqRVMZf94Tm9iP_pkYkOQcckI3x7FOXzesZ2pH9accWu4rPn48/s1600/2013-09-15+13.56.38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs9GxZYJ77rQ3eES4wVx1881O7F-GEfigknvMgZRyK8L8ukWZBMzUwjdO1mQPWlUPrO1U7SYonkADtDIblLIsxpaotcgqRVMZf94Tm9iP_pkYkOQcckI3x7FOXzesZ2pH9accWu4rPn48/s1600/2013-09-15+13.56.38.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a>There
are many ways to describe gardening and what it means for different
people. For some, they do it as a form of exercise and to be social,
others enjoy the beautification of the containers and plans they put
together and maintain. I take a very practical approach in that I want
to grow plants for purpose- food for us, a habitat source for
pollinators, and a way to mitigate the built environment. Giving up
turf grass and replacing it with plants that produce food, flavors,
scents, color, and texture is very exciting and serves as a way to be
self reliant. </div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span class="im"><div>
2) What do you think the best part of a garden is?</div>
</span><div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMvdPSPmoGUSbKXVufReisjMMIZ_LXa8ULckEBIMkdHW6Q1vdBtaUZdhuOZM5gIi3VaFCWAvaM09A6WuClnkDdqZQGdOT9ARhSSmLaFIQICZ_YIpaVkAHr4teQ8PXDAOhQ9LvDtkfdTo/s1600/2014-10-07+17.14.46.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinMvdPSPmoGUSbKXVufReisjMMIZ_LXa8ULckEBIMkdHW6Q1vdBtaUZdhuOZM5gIi3VaFCWAvaM09A6WuClnkDdqZQGdOT9ARhSSmLaFIQICZ_YIpaVkAHr4teQ8PXDAOhQ9LvDtkfdTo/s1600/2014-10-07+17.14.46.jpg" height="112" width="200" /></a>I
think the harvest is great, and educating others on the harvest is
equally important. Knowing when something is ripe and how to eat it,
or what the flowers are best to pick for a lasting bouquet, and how to
share them with others is incredibly rewarding!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="im"></span><br />
<div>
3) Is there anything else you would like to say?</div>
Understanding where your food comes from is very important to society.
You may not personally enjoy a garden or farm, but you certainly rely
on it for your meals. Knowing what land management decisions are made
by your neighbor does affect you, so knowing the basics of growing food
in our ecosystem is vitally important regardless of your age. In 2001, I was
interviewed by a student wondering about genetically
modified foods. My statement was the same- understand where your food
comes from. She laughed at me at the time, but has grown up to make educated
choices on where to buy foods. In our communities, we should be able to
talk to the growers at farmers markets, buy food from the farms that
share how they manage their crops, and choose to eat at restaurants that
source local (or grow on their roofs!).<br />

But this year's harvest was also cultivated by strengthening relationships which I observed at the annual green roof conference in November. Most of my <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=159" target="_blank">professional years</a> have been in the industry, and I was once again reminded of all the colleagues I've met over the years- working on projects, building teams, sharing success stories. We work in a dynamic field which is in its infancy in comparison to some, and the variety of our professions still brings us to promote green roofs as a solution for whatever challenge a site might have. My connections are with manufacturers, growers, designers, engineers, researchers and marketers, which all bring their perspectives.<br />

<a href="http://adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof</a> was brought on to some <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=162" target="_blank">fantastic projects</a> this growing season! One owner used her green roof to hide the building in the landscape. Another wanted the roof to be designed as an amenity so they could increase occupancy rates faster than the other downtown buildings. A homeowner wanted his existing vegetated roof to have more diversity, friendly to the butterflies. A facility manager recognized the value of ongoing, responsible management of their roof, and set aside the proper funds to pay for such services. More designs are also in place to manage most of the storm water on site.<br />
<br />
This is networking season, setting up time to build on partnerships, and evaluate opportunities. I look forward to <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=115" target="_blank">sharing time with you</a>! <br />

On a recent trip to Nebraska to service a new installation, I anticipated how the roof would mature in its first summer. I specified the proper soil depth to meet the native plant and succulent requirements, we added the very special <span class="st"><i>mycorrhizae, </i>the irrigation worked fairly well, and we were fortunate to have an abundance of rainfall this season. </span><br />

great coverage already at 60% and a nice balance of the fall grass
plumes and flowering perennials. The best surprise coming from these
roofs, however, was the new ecosystem we created for the butterflies and
bees! These creatures found their oasis atop new construction, and quickly! I'm
not talking about seeing one pollinator</span></span><span class="st"><span class="st"><span class="st"><span class="st">, we saw hundreds fluttering about!</span></span> (Do you know how hard it is to photograph or video a bunch of monarchs?! Surprisingly difficult!) Did we
witness a snippet of the severely declining Monarch population migrating south?
Were they already living close to the site? I don't know for sure, but
I'm guessing the <a href="http://www.xerces.org/butterfly-conservation/" target="_blank">Xerces Society</a> will be happy to hear <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">we</a> have a new habitat, in a very desired place in the Mid-west!</span> </span><br />
<span class="st"></span><br />
Often times, I get caught in my daily routine working in the green roof industry,
and forget that the decisions we make will impact others. Sure, there are lists of plants that attract certain insects, and I even blogged about this <a href="http://adgreenroof.blogspot.com/2014/04/green-roofs-for-pollinators.html" target="_blank">topic back in April</a>, but many species are not suitable for a green roof micro-climate. In this
case, I'm proud of the <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=161" target="_blank">consulting I provided</a> this client, and was able to build a unique palette beyond the typical systems out there, making a huge impact on the local environment. And, it appears that
nature is the real winner this time!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are many indicators that Fall has arrived. School is in session, state and county fairs are wrapped up, the nights are getting cooler. While certain parts of the country may still have some hot days in the near future, green roof plants know the days are getting shorter! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you have a green roof that was planted with more than just an extensive <i>Sedum</i> palette, you can probably see the fall asters blooming, ornamental grasses thriving, and Allium seed heads providing texture. The photo on the right features milkweed, white snakeroot, and purple cone flower growing on a roof in Wisconsin. </span></span><br />

It is certainly that time of year to talk about maintenance and efficient management of your green roof! I visited several this week in Chicago and Minneapolis. The Target Center roof is 2.5 acres full of natives and succulents- robust this time of year! With the regular and excessive rainfall, we haven't even turned on the irrigation on 3" soil! The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=354400661381012&saved" target="_blank">short video</a> was shot on my phone on Friday, 7-18-14. The video links to AD Greenroof's facebook page. Please check it out!<br />
<br />

Cassia (partridge pea) is a biennial, meaning it produces vegetated growth in year one, then in year two it flowers, sets seeds, and dies. We have noticed increased populations and spread of this particular species across the roof over the years and try to manage it properly to keep ecosystem balance. What about the bugs? On Friday, I was bombarded with grasshoppers, bees, some flies and even birds. Where else are they going to hang out downtown? :)<br />
<br />
This week, I also completed some maintenance for the Met Council on their Farmington, MN waste water treatment site. It's a lovely green roof, with some volunteer milkweed plants right in the center! The research team is starting data collection and <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof</a> completed a plant survey earlier this year. <br />

we will exceed 12” of rain. With prolonged saturating rain events every few
days since winter thaw, the Mississippi River is expected to rise seven
feet in the next few days. The creeks are flooded, and after this weekend’s
rain, even more streets will be closed. Some farms have already declared their crop
failures for the year. And, extreme flooding up North usually means problems for the cities along the southern flow of the River.</span></strong><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Weather

I will keep this short but wanted to share some events coming up that may be of interest to you!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANMEYxDMfG5o6dfB-fIwQ4C33WOAlRYsWMKuP-lnAPbAd_B_pq5MFx7B3-Mz3sfdCeBnobCPcnScq2QgC2avEnSVBwBQvlj2cUp585pJEgJP7dtJ0-TbttGDJCHa0VWkizerM7N-Kn6w/s1600/2014-05-06+12.15.43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgANMEYxDMfG5o6dfB-fIwQ4C33WOAlRYsWMKuP-lnAPbAd_B_pq5MFx7B3-Mz3sfdCeBnobCPcnScq2QgC2avEnSVBwBQvlj2cUp585pJEgJP7dtJ0-TbttGDJCHa0VWkizerM7N-Kn6w/s1600/2014-05-06+12.15.43.jpg" height="175" title="" width="320" /></a>First, <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof </a>will be finishing the planting of an acre green roof in Nebraska on June 6. It has undulating soil depths, and will be full of natives. The perimeter plants will be our favorite drought tolerant succulents and wildflowers may thrive there, too! <br />
<br />
The MN Green Roofs Council has partnered with Green Roofs for Healthy Cities to create a <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1932212#ixzz32NzRxhss" target="_blank">star-studded policy event</a> on June 19 at Hamline U. I will be speaking about a local case study, the Target Center, and discussing the new MIDS Stormwater Calculator. Hope to see you there!<br />
<div class="flright">
<span style="height: 20px; vertical-align: bottom; width: 170px;"></span></div>
<br />
But, if "policy and a pint" is not your thing, perhaps <a href="http://www.mngreenroofs.org/2014/05/2014-mgrc-bike-tour/" target="_blank">biking for a pint</a> is! On June 22, we are hosting a bike tour of 5 green roofs in Minneapolis, ending at a brewery. <br />

Feel free to register in the link provided. <br />
<br />
We continue to collect some <a href="http://gis.cecinc.com/Penfield_weather/index.html" target="_blank">awesome data </a>at Penfield in St. Paul. Measuring storm water performance and tracking temperature is ongoing. Abbey the Intern, has complied a wonderful local literature review!<br />
<br />
With all this going on, it's important to stay focused on <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=177" target="_blank">maintenance</a>,
quality installations, and partnering with the right people to get the
job done safely.Green Pioneerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15086117641464732890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799252681285600517.post-51428196620401299542014-04-03T10:39:00.000-05:002014-04-03T10:40:58.253-05:00Green Roofs for Pollinators! <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

you are reading my blog on green roofs, I assume that you basically know what
they are, and may know of one in your area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You may also know about pollinators-those wonderful insects (bees,
moths, butterflies, etc.) that are</span><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">
essential for production of seeds and fruits of native plants and crops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may even be aware that pollinators are in
trouble. And if the pollinator populations are in trouble, our food crops are
too….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may have to start hand
pollinating our veggies and cereal plants!</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As cities and suburbs sprawl, there is less
native land available for these pollinators.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Turf grass really holds no ecological value for the pollinators- they
are looking for flowers with nectar and pollen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Further, impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, streets) are not
inhabitable for the species ei<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">ther. </span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In
addition to the lack of natural ecosystem habitats, distance between them, and
parasitic mites, pollinators have another challenge.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Research
is suggesting that plants grown with specific pesticides are killing colonies-
either from hives with direct contact during the spray application, or systemic
(plant retains the active ingredient and the pollinators absorb as they contact
the plant).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, I’ll restrict myself
from completely geeking out, but the class of insecticides is call “</span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">neonicotinoids” (think nicotine
for bees) and the active ingredient is</span><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">Imidacloprid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BayerAg makes this, and is common in many
products you may buy over the counter at a box store: Merit (grub control),
flea and heartworm control for dogs and cats, and Confidor (used on many fruit
trees, commercial vegetables, and ornamentals).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Commercial growers who supply large numbers of ornamentals for big box
stores probably use these insecticides to manage their crops.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For

the garden center “Where do my plants come from? How were they grown?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider going elsewhere if you aren’t

certified organic growers of crops are likely in the clear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, if you start your own seeds, you
have ultimate management control :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the
request of so many of you, I am updating my blog! Thank you for your kind thoughts and
suggestions. I admit I broke the biggest blogger sin by setting this up and then got too busy to keep it fresh and fun. And I seriously hope this
won’t be the 5<sup>th</sup> non-post I’ve tried to complete in the last few months,

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">ADGreenroof</a> was recently interviewed and featured in the <a href="http://www.twincities.com/business/ci_25250250/one-woman-business-thrives-by-nurturing-twin-cities?IADID=Search-www.twincities.com-www.twincities.com" target="_blank">St. Paul PioneerPress</a>! WOW. How cool is that?! I met with the reporter, Nick Woltman,on a very cold polar vortex day
for a formal interview; and he followed </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">up several times with further questions
and clarifications. I met with a
photographer at the Penfield green roof courtyard on a super warm day in the 20s (yes, I thought 20F was warm enough to take the jacket off!). That was quite
funny because the roof was not touched all winter, there were no
clear paths through the snow! So we
trudged, with hearty laughter, across 3’ deep snow to get to the instruments (buried)
in order for the photographer to get the shots he was asked to take. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As a side,
this was also the first time I had a chance to meet the <a href="http://www.villagegreen.com/st-paul/the-penfield/" target="_blank">Penfield</a> property manager and
property rental team. I was happy to
educate them a little on the green roof, and what<a href="http://gis-prod.cecinc.com/Penfield_Weather/" target="_blank"> research </a>we are collecting to
compare against the gravel roof above.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The article
turned out great! Having worked with the press in the past, I was a little
nervous what Nick was going to focus on, or if I’d look too opinionated on a
topic. None of that happened, and I felt
the quality of his reporting was very thorough as he asked other professionals
for clarification and fact checking. There were few things incorrect, but I
think that’s to be expected. I found it
comical that he suggested I went to University of Michigan, when I actually got
my MS from <a href="http://www.hrt.msu.edu/greenroof/" target="_blank">Michigan State</a>. This is probably
the most commonly confused affiliation within the entire green roof
industry! And, it was quickly caught by
others in the industry who also claim SPARTANS!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, Nick, thank you for shedding positive light to <a href="http://www.adgreenroof.com/" target="_blank">AD Greenroof</a> and the industry as a whole! </span></span></div>

variety of reasons to solve easy and complex problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often, the maintenance falls into a standard
form that is handed to an owner within the closing documents of the entire
construction documents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
manufacturers and growers who set these simple standards are often not involved
after the installation has been completed, and never return back to the roof
site.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Owners are left maintaining the
vegetated roofs (which is very different from at grade landscape management) whether

irrigation schedule, the necessity to weed, and what to do if certain areas of
the roof under-perform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best thing
we as designers, installers, and manufacturers, can do in advance of closing
documents is to create the most resilient ecosystem by designing a defensive
plant palette that fits within the microclimate of the rooftop, and stay in regular
communication with the owner and/or facility manager by filling out reports, just like <a href="http://adgreenroof.com/?p=177">GREENFORMATION<span style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span></a>.</span></div>

were completed to hiring a maintenance consultant, my company AD
Greenroof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Minneapolis
this year, we experienced a prolonged winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(I’m not going to discuss the 18” snow storm we got on May 2, that was
ridiculous!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plants were slow to emerge
and green up. Aside from a few industry professionals, no one was thinking
about maintenance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, after a
few warm sunny days, the plants really started coming around, and so did their
competitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the second week of June,
I saw common green roof weeds encroaching on the roof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, after all the approvals and
scheduling the crew to work, some of the weeds had already set flower and
seed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> While keeping within the budget, we found creative solutions to managing the weeds.</span></span></div>

maintenance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to weeding, thinning also
happens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thinning occurs when intended
plants get aggressive and may crowd out other species.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s important to keep diversity and healthy
intended plants!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I haven’t thinned many <i>Sedum </i>based roofs, but I certainly have with native and other herbaceous
forbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
