Happy World Green Roof Day! #WGRD2023 A lovely @grassroofco @GreenRoofShelt #GreenRoof bike shelter giving some seriously beautiful biodiverse street cred to #Swansea city centre pocket park. More substrate depth, more #CityNature

To GRO or not to GRO 🤔my lunchtime #greenroof inspection.

Our #GreenRoofs must provide a range of natural benefits & be biodiverse. Our #GreenRoof plants need substrate 2 grow in. Mats/blankets on mineral wool don't deliver 4 nature, wellbeing, climate change or sustainability

@blanchecameron @Brillianto_GI @WalesOnline @ecoschemes It's a really exciting demonstration scheme. Great to have been part of the team pushing for quality #GI in #Swansea as it was developing. Our workshops with @ecoschemes & @greenroofsuk sharing their expertise, were perfectly timed to link up with the great ideas on this scheme.

[Gary Grant @ecoschemes]

@blanchecameron @Brillianto_GI @WalesOnline @frolfey It's got the lot: food growing, pond, greenhouses, biosolar roof, balcony planters, climbing plants, rainwater harvesting. Construction underway.

'I'm as happy as can be' loving life on his way to @sthelensp this morning.

Would be great if we had a #SafeRouteToSchool for active travel to avoid the slalom feel to the school run though.
