A bright yellow plant of dry pastures, grassy slopes and well-drained calcareous soils the Bulbous buttercup (Ranunculus bulbosus) is well suited to extensive green roofs of a reasonable depth -greater than 100mm).

The green roof installed in Sennen Cove, near Land’s End Cornwall has past through it’s first winter. Considering the weather in Cornwall this winter the roof is doing really well. It is probably the first and the last green roof in England as the pub up in Sennen itself is called this. This small eco-shed is in a school in Stockport. The inspiration for the roof was Jane Sebire, a photographer who takes pictures for various gardening and landscape magazines. Her son goes to the school in question.A lovely project and we defer to Jane’s description of the shed and it’s impact, not ours. On 23rd October we will be running a green roof training course at the Wat Tyler Centre, Pitsea, Essex. This delightful ice-pink flower is a real beauty and can add elegance and colour to any small scale green roof. |
