The Arbor Day Foundation's green roof is a demonstration project of a contained green space on top of the headquarters building in downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. The green roof is a lightweight system with only 2.5 inches of a specially formulated clay-based growing media. Most of the green elements on the roof will include sedum and other low-growing plants. Benefits of a green roof include:
