Why plant a garden on the ground when you can put it on the roof? Turtle Bay Resort recently created a 60,000-square-foot “green roof” to illustrate its commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

“We are dedicated to preserving Hawaii’s delicate and natural resources as stewards of the land,” stated Scott McCormack, vice president of real estate at the resort. In this vein,<\/p>\n

Turtle Bay installed 1,578 solar panels on its upper roofs in 2013, which helps to bring down the resort’s $2.5 million annual electric bill.<\/p>\n

The new green spaces on the lower roofs take sustainability a step further by reducing how much heat the buildings absorb, which lowers air-conditioning costs.<\/p>\n

Low-maintenance native Hawaiian plants — including ‘akulikuli and mau’u’aki’aki — grow alongside carex and sedum grasses in a wave-like pattern, while two open-air herb gardens supply fresh produce to the resort’s Kula Grille and Pa’akai restaurants.<\/p>\n

Other roof sections are lined with gray-blue and black river rocks and sand.<\/p>\n

Walters Kimura Motoda, Honolulu Roofing and Firestone Roofing Products helped install the green roofs, with native plants provided by Haiku Valley’s Hui Ku Maoli Ola.<\/p>\n
