Greening a Grocery.

The Publix grocery store is part of a new mixed-use development located in the Smoky Hollow neighborhood in downtown Raleigh. The green roof on the grocery store reduces stormwater runoff and cools surface temperatures while providing a significant boost to local biodiversity. The greenroof is nestled into multi-level structures and receives little to no sunlight. A native shade plant community comprising native shade perennials and grasses provides a beautiful and restorative view for residents.
