The garden at Sackville Town Hall is chock-a-block full of edibles and native plants, some of which will hopefully go to help supply the Sackville Food Bank. But it\u2019s not the plants in the garden that are necessarily remarkable, it\u2019s the location: on the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sackville town hall has had a green roof since it was built more than 10 years ago, and this summer the green was expanded to cover another 1900 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-Amanda-Fiona_20210803_162939.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-Amanda-Fiona_20210803_162939.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-Amanda-Fiona_20210803_162939.png 640w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-Amanda-Fiona_20210803_162939-300x225.png 300w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>EOS Eco Energy director Amanda Marlin and Mount Allison professor Fiona Black planting a variety of seedlings on the expanded green roof at Sackville town hall, August 3, 2021.  Photo: Erica Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amanda Marlin, director of <a href=\"https:\/\/eosecoenergy.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EOS Eco-Energy<\/a>, helped plant the garden, and also secured the funding to make it happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The town <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/possible-green-roof-expansion-for-town-hall-care-of-eos-eco-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signed an agreement with EOS<\/a> to expand the green roof back in November when the organization first applied to Environment and Climate Change Canada for funding. EOS also did a fundraiser through the Small Change Fund, a crowdfunding platform, &#8220;so local residents helped contribute to the green roof project as well,\u201d says Marlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mount Allison is also involved. A grant from the student-funded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masu.ca\/green-investment-fund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Investment Fund<\/a>, as well as some funding from the Faculty of Arts, paid for half the new plants on the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marlin says 27 cubic yards of soil were hauled up to the roof to create the expanded garden, which required an engineering assessment to make sure the roof could withstand the weight. The soil is just 7 inches deep, and the roof can be quite hot and windy, so drought-resistant, shorter plants are favoured. And Marlin is expecting to learn about what plants do better or worse as the garden progresses. \u201cPlanting things is always an experiment,\u201d says Marlin, \u201con a rooftop or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-wide-shot_20210803_163005.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-wide-shot_20210803_163005.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-wide-shot_20210803_163005.png 640w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-wide-shot_20210803_163005-300x225.png 300w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The existing rooftop garden on Sackville town hall was built along with the building over 10 years ago. The expanded garden can be seen in the background.  Photo: Erica Butler<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few technical benefits of a green roof, says Marlin. The soil and plants absorb rainwater and so reduce runoff during rain events, contributing to stormwater management. The multiple layers involved in the construction of the rooftop garden also contribute to insulating and extending the life of the roof, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there are the benefits of adding more green, with increasing local biodiversity and food for pollinators. The green roof will also provide a space for educational events, and it\u2019s a great stress reducer. \u201cJust the benefits of being around plants in nature, whether it&#8217;s for town staff, or people who come up here and enjoy,\u201d Marlin says. The green roof is open to the public during business hours of town hall, and is accessible from the lobby area on the second floor of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marlin is hoping Sackville\u2019s green roof will serve as a demonstrator project for other buildings in New Brunswick. \u201cThey&#8217;re not that common in New Brunswick compared to other places,\u201d says Marlin. \u201cSo we really wanted to have the chance to promote and to learn about them as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-planters_20210803_162915.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-planters_20210803_162915.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-planters_20210803_162915.png 640w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Green-roof-planters_20210803_162915-300x225.png 300w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Mount Allison intern Hannah Wickham, and EOS staffers Lauren Clarke and Breanna MacLeod planting the new section of Sackville&#8217;s rooftop garden at town hall.
