EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Sedum roof in mid-August, located on a garage in Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada. The entire surface of the garage roof is covered with deciduous Sedum sp. matting, creating a lush and vibrant green cover. Sedum plants are specifically chosen for green roofs due to their remarkable qualities - they are drought tolerant, shallow rooting, and require minimal maintenance. This image beautifully captures the peak of summer when the Sedum plants are flourishing with their foliage at its fullest. The series of images taken throughout the summer months illustrates how this living roof changes over time. From its initial state to this late August snapshot, it's fascinating to witness nature's transformation as each season passes. This environmentally friendly approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides numerous benefits such as improved insulation and stormwater management. The use of Sedum plants demonstrates an eco-friendly building technology that adapts well to arid climates like those found in British Columbia. Overall, this photograph serves as a testament to the harmonious blend between architecture and biology while showcasing the beauty and functionality of green roofs in urban environments.
