Green Roof Organisation #GRO UK Trade Association for Green/Blue/BioSolar #greenroofs. Producing guidance and bringing professional & passionate people together
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Henk den Ouden (1948-2026), a respected figure in the UK horticulture and green roof industries.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues. He will be remembered by many across our industry.
Planning a green roof?
We can provide technical support and quotes as well as recommend approved Optigrun contractors to install.
