LANDSCAPING SERVICES environments, Green-tree substrate was an ideal match for the garden’ s semi-intensive, biosolar roof system, which was constructed with the support and donations from GRO( Green Roof Organisation) member businesses, including Green-tech.
Mark Wood, Business Development Director at Green-tech, comments,“ We were proud to donate our Green-tree soil substrate to such an inspiring and important show garden. The Garden of the Future aligns closely with our values of supporting sustainable landscaping, futureproofing urban green spaces, and promoting climate resilience through innovation.”
The garden enabled visitors to understand the science and research behind these innovations, the challenges and solutions being developed by smallholder farmers, and what countries like the UK can learn from countries living on the frontline of climate change. By showcasing global innovators and their solutions, the Garden of the Future aimed to inspire visitors to believe in the power of innovation and collaboration to transform human potential around the world, as well as offering take-home ideas for growing plants in a more sustainable, climate-resilient way.
Alongside Green-tech, other GRO members who contributed to the biosolar roof system included
Bridgman & Bridgman, PV Plus, TEP, Optigrün, Diadem, SIKA, Radmat, and Wraxalls.
