Sedum roof, late June
Sedum roof. Image 2 of 4. Garage roof covered with deciduous Sedum sp. matting. Sedum plants are used for green roofs because they are drought tolerant, shallow rooting and require little maintenance. This image was photographed in late June. To see a sequence of images of the roof through the summer months, see T835/0664 to T835/0667. Photographed in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada

This print showcases a stunning Sedum roof in late June, capturing the natural beauty of this unique green roofing solution. The image reveals a garage roof covered with deciduous Sedum sp. matting, demonstrating the practicality and aesthetic appeal of using sedum plants for green roofs. These plants are renowned for their ability to withstand drought, shallow rooting system, and low maintenance requirements. Photographed in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada, this image is part of a series that documents the transformation of the roof throughout the summer months. It provides viewers with an opportunity to witness nature's ever-changing spectacle as the sedum foliage evolves over time. The living cover on this flat surface not only enhances its appearance but also serves important environmental purposes. This extensive urban biology project contributes to creating an environmentally friendly and eco-friendly building design by utilizing arid-adapted succulent plants like Sedum sp. With its biological adaptability and sustainable qualities, this Sedum roof exemplifies modern building technology combined with horticultural expertise. By incorporating such innovative roofing solutions into architectural designs, we can create greener spaces while reducing our ecological footprint.
