Almost a year after planting Swarthmore College’s and Scott Arboretum’s third green roof, the plants have grown together to create a striking tapestry of color. Check out what Jennie Love had to say about our green roof after visiting this summer.

There are two more green roof tours left this season. Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 26 and Thursday, October 22 to experience the parade of colors created by Sedum, Talinum, Delosperma, Campanula, Allium, and Dianthus. We hope to install our fourth green roof on the Wister Education Center and Greenhouse this fall. Stay tuned to Garden Seeds for updates.
