Green roof made of sea grass

Time lap film of establishing a green roof on the workshop with children.

The green roof on the Træstubben workshop was established with handicraft facilitators with pedagogical skills. The green roof was made on top of the roofing felt on the workshop.

You need a foil, that avoids the roots to damage the construction beyond the roof. Two sides of the roof were made with the local resource: sea grass. In sea grass you can grow a whole kitchen garden!

Four years later, I casually met the same children that had participated on this workshop with there class in front of Træstubben with their teacher. They had the topic “climate adaptation”. Their teacher asked them to find spots in the local district, that could be a good example for climate adaptation. It was the children, that presented their teacher for the green roof they once had build. They could tell the teacher how it functions and contributes to urban climate adaptation.
