One of the Top Reason's to Love Toronto: The City Hall's LiveRoof®

The LiveRoof® brand green roof system on Toronto City Hall's Nathan Phillips Square is a meadow of over 20 different plant mixes and a testament to the instant natural beauty only possible with the LiveRoof® hybrid green roof system.

Toronto Life has called it out as one of the TOP TEN Reasons to Love Toronto.
"The resulting 3,250-square-metre garden of wild grasses and native plants is open to the public from dawn ’til dusk. Bisected by crushed white granite paths and dotted with ipe wood benches, the roof has the meditative effect of a Zen garden...
"...this elevated idyll proves that progress and beauty can coexist."
