For all green roof fans afraid to try one on your own home: experiment with your dog.
The June 3rd Home & Garden section of the Los Angles Times has an article about dog houses with green roofs designed by landscape designer Stephanie Rubin and her partner, sculptor Chris Isner. They go for around one to four thousand dollars, but the article says you can make one yourself for much less. They keep the dog cool, and the roofs are planted with natives that are animal-friendly.
