Where: GreenScaped Buildings, 7922 Armour Street, San Diego CA, 92111 (Kearny Mesa)

When: Friday, March 26, 3 - 6 p.m.
Saturday, March 27, 9 a.m. - 12 noon

Who: Jim Mumford, President and Founder, and the staff of GreenScaped Buildings

What: Tour the GreenScaped Buildings Living Lab and explore various green roof, living wall and rainwater harvesting methods and products that contribute to low impact development, sustainability and restorative buildings, cultivating a legacy for which future generations can be proud.

Even if you've visited before, you'll see plenty of new systems and products just added to the lab this spring. Displays include:

• A conventional loose-laid green roof on an existing building with native plants
• Five other green roof system options
• Over a half-dozen indoor and outdoor living wall systems, expanding the potential for gardens in areas with no traditional space, the first of their kind in the United States
• Innovative products and systems that capture rainwater runoff and recycle it for irrigation
• Sub irrigation systems for green roofs eliminating evaporation
• Organic drainage layers for green roofs, minimizing synthetic materials
• Artificial growing mediums that don't use traditional "soils" that can sit on any flat surface

Plenty of people told Jim Mumford he was nuts building a green roof project in the middle of a Kearny Mesa industrial park. Three years later, the roof is thriving and Jim Mumford's GreenScaped Buildings is a leader in the green building industry.

Mumford was named one of San Diego's "Eco-Warriors" and an environmental role model in the April 2010 issue of San Diego Magazine.
