To answer "off the grid's" question;
I'm consulting with Gennaro for the green roof portion of the project. The plant's that we have chosen are native desert plants that require little water for survival. The second consideration for our selection is flowers for the bees. We want to have at least two species blooming at all times between April and October. Some edible plants do great in this environment and may make it into the mix as well. Over the course of the year conditions may be better for one plant than another; one may flourish and the next may die back. Because of this at least eight species will be planted to ensure that the green roof is lush through 3 1/2 seasons. It is also common to replant particular areas because of various conditions like wind or shade. Every roof is different and a little trial and error is sometimes necessary.
