"The green roof, planted with red and green sedum, is a low ground cover of succulents that will flower into a colorful mix of purple, orange, yellow, red and green flowers next spring and summer. ... Installed about a week ago, the plants came from Corso's Perennials of Sandusky, Ohio. The trays that hold the plants were provided by Live Roof, which is based in Michigan."

"This is our first green roof at Make It Right, " Howell said. "It's a live roof system, basically succulents or plants that need very little maintenance. They come in trays that lock together and sit atop a waterproof roof membrane."

Southeast Green Roofs To Run Farm On Solar Power
Following is an excerpt from a USDA press release...
Secretary Vilsack announces $13 million for renewable energy projects
LiveRoof Grower makes the list
DECATUR, Ill., Sept. 2, 2009 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that the department is providing more than $13 million in loans and grants for 233 renewable energy projects in 38 states under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), including one in Nashville, Tenn. Dallas Tonsager, Under Secretary for Rural Development, made the announcement on behalf of Vilsack during a speech at the Farm Progress Show."Under President Obama's leadership, USDA is working to increase the availability of renewable energy, which not only will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, but also strengthen our national economy," Vilsack said. "The funding announced today will help expand renewable energy in America , which is a key part of the nation's long-term strategy for continued economic prosperity and energy independence."
The loan guarantees and grants can be used for renewable energy systems, energy efficiency improvements, feasibility studies and energy audits. These funds are not part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. For more information on the REAP program, which is authorized under the 2008 Farm Bill, please visit www.rurdev.usda.gov/rbs/farmbill/index.html.
Nashville Natives Nursery, LLC, of Fairview , Tenn. , was selected to receive a $17,077 grant to help fund installation of a solar power system. The photovoltaic panels are expected to generate 8.28 kilowatts of electricity, enough to offset 100 percent of the company's average annual energy demand. The company specializes in native wildflowers, grasses and trees and is a Live Roof licensed grower. More information is available at www.nashvillenatives.com/.
