Singapore Green Roofs











Had a great day being shown around by the guys from Elmich ( a company that manufactures hard landscaping products ) and Nature, a Landscape Design Company. It was very interesting and very generous with their time, taking all day to drive me around to a number of different sites.



1st stop - The Aramsa Spas a 5 star day spa and organic cafe. They have retro fitted the roof of one of the buildings. A very simple installation that has now been in place for about 18mths and has been very successful. They are also doing some experimenting with vertical gardens with mixed success. Had a wonderful vegetarian organic lunch in the cafe. Amazing gardens and a really lovely feel to the whole place. The spa treatments look fantastic and should be on the top of the list of things to do when in Singapore.
