Green Roof Gardening at the Elliott School

On Thursday, September 24th from 8-10 am, a few members of Revolution 
Green made their way to the top of George Washington's Elliott School of International Affairs to participate in green roof gardening.

A newly established project, the Elliott's green roof adds a layer of vegetation and waterproofing to the building’s existing structure.
 It's intent is to draw nature to its urban setting, creating a habitat conducive to city-dwelling birds as well as offsetting carbon emissions. (GW Hatchet)


Our students were trained in how to look after the garden, so that in the future we will be able to go back and garden on our own! Below are some photos of Ruby, Erica, Nicole R. and Nicole P.  diving into their first green roof gardening experience!
