GREEN & BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE
In total 23,000 bulbs and 17,000 plants were planted which all help to provide a tranquil environment ; a calming space for all to take time out and enjoy the nature around them . Visitors are encouraged to participate in the ongoing care of these . which provides a lightweight continuous drainage layer across the roof structure . It collects and stores water to irrigate the plants during low rainfall periods
300 tonnes Green-tree 12mm premium top soil was supplied for the general landscaping areas , along with 44 tree anchoring kits , Mona irrigation pipes , compost and bark mulch .
Brian Watson , Landscape Architect from Swinburne Horticultural Services Ltd comments , “ We worked closely with Green-tech as we had to work around challenging delivery restrictions . Being in a city centre and the hospital ’ s own restrictions meant it was imperative that Green-tech made each delivery to a very specific and tight timescale ; which they did successfully . They used Moffett equipped artic trailers for easier unloading . The roof top garden looks amazing and has been well received . I would happily recommend Green-tech .”
