Moss Makes Sense for Rooftop Gardens

In April we posted a press release for our friends at Moss Acres announcing the installation of the first residential moss roof project. Click here for the press release.

Since moss has so many advantages, it is being considered as a great solution to a shaded roof. Moss is lightweight, drought tolerant and spreads quickly. We asked Moss Acres to give us photos of the first residential project and/or any updates on the April installation as we are eager to learn from this project and share the outcomes.

According to Nancy Church at Moss Acres, all is going well. The team at Moss Acres will keep us up to date as the moss gets acclimated. We received photos from the Moss Acres team depicting the actual install, along with progress photos of the growing moss. Since pictures are worth a 1,000 words, please review and enjoy the process and team work here!
