While attending the World Green Roof Congress in 2008, Dusty Gedge of Livingroofs.org hosted a greenroof tour of London, and Aramis and Linda Velazquez of Greenroofs.com attended. Justin Bere’s beautiful, ecologically designed home and the architectural office of bere:architects was included, and we were able to visit the three greenroofs designed for biodiversity on site.
