Re: Barnfield Training Center

Usually not grass on “turf” roofs but a plant called sedum. It’s a succulent which is very resistant to drought and can grow in virtually no soil. It’s ideal for roofs which may tend to dry out quite quickly. The colour varies depending on whether it’s in flower. That's interesting to know, thanks....
