Over the weekend I went over to
Roofings Lubowa to place an order for a client and I was pleasantly surprised
to see a free seedlings stand! What a brilliant idea of corporate social
responsibility and environmental sustainability.
Clearly Roofings understands that
most of its customers had to clear quite an amount of vegetation to create room
for the buildings that their products go to roof, and the free seedlings are a
step in the right direction to off set the carbon footprint of the new
development.
I felt this stand also serves as
a gentle reminder about the importance of landscaping to the overall aesthetic
of a place and Roofings definitely practices the gospel it preaches - they also
offer a free Forever Forestry certificate course and the training just
concluded last week - by the wide variety of flora all over its complex. I
couldn't even name some of the flower species so just took photos of as many as
I could. If you do know the names, please enlighten me by leaving a
comment.
At least I can name Hibiscus!
Thank you childhood :)
What I do know though is that
this isn't a common sighting because lemme tell you, of the many
warehouse/industrial complexes I've encountered since joining the field, this
amount of space dedicated to greenery is as rare as a cactus in Greenland. And
yet these are the very projects that need it most. (Guess once council decrees
you can use 100% of your plot, developers figure its wasteful sacrificing
rent-fetching space to flowers and what not. I weep with Mother Earth.) So
major props to Roofings. I'll definitely be recommending them to more of my
clients because you best believe their products are as sustainable as their
practices.

If any of guys are looking to
plant some trees, you now know where to grab free seedlings. You're welcome ;)
