On Wednesday, November 3rd, locally owned Roof Top Sedums will unveil the first LiveRoof brand green roof in Davenport on an occupied building at the Genesis East complex on Rusholme in Davenport.
Genesis is dedicating approximately 4,600 square feet of their complex to this green roof system. The installed 1x2 foot green roof modules are covering 95% of the complex immediately and the rest will grow together as the sedums establish on the rooftop over the next several weeks. These sedum modules have been growing at Roof Top Sedums' Davenport location until the time for this week's final installation which will be conducted by locally owned Roofing Technology. The Genesis East roof has three plant mix areas; a red plant mix with 13 different sedum varieties, a green mix with 11 different sedum varieties, a blended color mix with 18 different sedum varieties and three donated taller accent sedum and allium varieties.
Roof Top Sedums co-founder Teresa Nelson says, "Before my mother passed away fighting cancer, she stayed at Genesis [hospital], but had nothing but a barren roof to look at out her window. We are proud to have the chance to change this view for the patients and staff of this hospital". This green roof garden will be seen by three floors of patients at the hospital year-round. The green roof will bloom throughout the year and because there are evergreen sedums
in this mix, these green roof plants will not disappear during the winter.
In 2007, Roof Top Sedums installed a green roof at Vander Veer Park's pump house northwest of the fountain. Today, Roof Top Sedums is a Regional LiveRoof Licensed Grower servicing Iowa, Western Illinois, Eastern Nebraska, Eastern Kansas, and most of Missouri. The Genesis East green roof will be the 8th LiveRoof brand Iowa project grown by Roof Top Sedums, since March of 2007. Co-founder Roxanne Nagel explains, "We have had tremendous success in the past three years and are excited about the reputation and attention our company is getting as our business grows."
