growing livable communities
using living materials
“At Bread for the City, we had a dream of a project that would open an entirely new dimension within our community: a rooftop garden suited for growing food, gathering together, and developing a vision of a sustainable, supportive community. With dc greenworks’ technical expertise, muscle, and gentle guidance, we were able to make this dream a reality. We encourage everyone to explore the possibilities up above us, with dc greenworks as their guide.”
-Jeannine C. Sanford, Esq. Chief Operating Officer, Bread for the City
“We are delighted with our greenroof, our first. We see it from our back windows, as do our neighbors, reminding us all of our beautiful earthly surroundings as we conserve a precious community resource, the city’s ground water. . Now we have birds and visually-pleasing succulents that not only give us pleasure but add to the apparent size of our backyard in a city setting. So it is a win-win situation and dc greenworks made it an educational and enjoyable experience.”

-Jennifer Tisch, Tisch Creative Worldwide
“Our architects recommended dc greenworks to design and install the living roof. We are very pleased with the support we received from dc greenworks as we constructed the roof in preparation for the installation of the living component. The crew that did the actual installation were skilled, friendly, and professional, and we were totally satisfied with the final product. ”

“Over the 5 or so years since the installation was completed, we have received additional support from dc greenworks, for recommendations on maintenance (which is minimal), and assistance with minor adjustments is the drainage system sand maintenance of the plants. We remain totally satisfied with this wonderful organization, which is doing so much environmental and community development work in the greater DC region. ”
