It’s all about the plants!🌱 The Alice L. Walton School of Medicine green roof has now experienced a full year of seasons, and the results speak for themselves.
The carefully curated plant palette, designed by OSD, has matured into a lush, dynamic rooftop landscape featuring a wide variety of species such as liatris, echinacea, grasses, red hot poker, and bee balm. After a year of growth, these species provide vibrant color, texture, and ecological value while creating a resilient and visually striking environment.
Thoughtful plant selection is critical to long term green roof success. As these plant communities continue to establish, they support biodiversity, provide habitat for pollinators, and showcase the lasting environmental benefits of green roof systems.
It’s exciting to see this project continue to flourish and demonstrate what’s possible when plants and architecture work together.
