Native plants for the new California Academy of Sciences living roof

 In Arts and Culture, Community, Environment

In my last post, “Green roofs on the rise,” I wrote about the new 2.5-acre undulating rooftop of the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. By the time the museum reopens, the roof will be covered with native California plants, including beach strawberry, sea pink, self heal, and stone crop.
