The Br? na B?inne Visitor Centre greenroof at the Duchas National Heritage Interpretive Centre, located in New Grange - Boyne Valley, Dunboyne, County Meath, was completed in October, 1996. The aim was to blend the building into its natural surroundings, and so Design By Nature Ireland was retained to design and supply a special wildflower seed mixture for the roof garden. The greenroof was covered with native species.
