Green Roof Buffalo
If green roofs have made there way to Buffalo, you know the fad has now reached trend status.
To see the latest green trend, look up. Dave Lanfear of Brayton Street is among those encouraging people not to overlook their roofs….
Today the roof on the one-story building is a neat, green oasis, planted with an assortment of sturdy sedum, some fine-textured grasses and even a few edibles.
OK, but it must be the only one in all of Buffalo, right?
The Lanfears’ roof, built last spring and summer, is no longer unique in the neighborhood. This year, Urban Roots acquired a small shed with a living roof that was built with recycled materials from Buffalo ReUse for the Junior League Show House.
Who knew? Because you know, I’ve been to Buffalo, and I can’t say it was at the forefront of green trends.
