Weekend planting went great. It was interesting. We had a couple of volunteers helping out. And learned couple of pointers of planting.Meanwhile, here are some pictures of some hands on.
And of course, video on HOW they are doing it was also taken. So if you are in for a short peak...here it is:

1. Please wear long sleeves and pants!
2. If not, do bring insect repellent!

Update 180908: Planting Green Roofs
By Wilson Ang a.k.a ShamU on Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 10:12 AM
The planting went somewhat well. We are working on well with couple of people each time.We have the place roughly setup.
Also, we have the soil mix ready in the boxes to be planted with the little "shrubs" which will eventually go onto the roof of the house.
And we also have our experience that planting the roof in the evening is not good. The location for our planting doe not have night lightings.
We now still constantly need people to help plant the roof! We need YOUR help.
Here is the updated schedule:
20th Sept 2008 (2pm - 6pm)
21st Sept 2008 (2pm - 6pm)
22nd - 26th Sept (2pm - 6pm)
27th & 28th Sept (2pm - 6pm)
2nd & 3rd Oct (2pm - 6pm)
4th & 5th Oct (2pm - 6pm)
6th - 10th Oct (2pm - 6pm)
11th & 12th Oct (2pm - 6pm)
18th & 19th Oct (2pm - 6pm)
Things to do:
1. Pruning of existing plants to use it as the new plants for our soil mix (we need to have this in order to plant. Take it like it is the seedlings for the new plants)
2. Planting in the soil mix boxes
For week days:
We will focus more on the 1st thing to do.
For week ends:
You will do both (if we have enough people)
Bear in mind that we need to do 1 then 2.
We will be meeting at:
Bus stop infront of The Salvation Army Family Thrift Stores (Looks like a Giant Ship)
Upper Bukit Timah Road (Map as per below)
Please meet at the stated time frame and drop Wilson A call at 91474541 should you get lost.
