GreenScaped Buildings Hosts
Third Annual Open House March 26 & 27
Meet San Diego's "Eco-Warrior" and
Tour the GreenScaped Living Lab
RSVP: Alexa@GoodEarthPlants.com
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.

First off, my apologies for the blog silence the last couple of weeks. What a cycle! You're too busy to write things on the blog, but you're really busy with things you want to write on the blog about! I think that most of us go through this. So, like most of us, I'm working on picking up the postings in the next few weeks!
That said, here's a cool project where they've implemented Urban Farming in the heart of Brooklyn! Brooklyn Grange aims to build on decades of rooftop farming best practices and establish a one acre farm that operates as a sustainable small business. The farm will sell fresh, organic and affordable food to the local community, contributing to the health and economic development of the neighborhood.
Check out their blog at www.brooklyngrangefarm.com. We'll keep them on our blogroll so everyone can stay up to date as well.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the manufacturer is pretty pleased with our design and installation of herb walls for Pizzeria Mozza. Good, because we're pretty pleased too! :)
