The French Guide is now live. We have finally managed to get our small scale green roof guide translated into French. Currently the French website is up and running. The public pages are all viewable. From the 24th October the membership side will be sold. Dusty will be talking at the Le Salon EcoHome à Paris.
We are using this to launch the guide.
The French Guide – Thanks
This has been a longtime in the making. The original pdf guide was translated into French but we never got around to publishing it. Now that the guide is online it is easier for us to have it translated into other. We are hoping that it helps people in France, Switzerland, Canada and anywhere else in the world where French is the lingua franca build more green roofs.
We would like to thank our French colleagues – @Pescalune @urbanbiodiverse, Brigitte from INIT ENVIRONMENT and Philippe Peiger on Nature En Toit for all their help getting the new French guide ready to go.
We are also hoping to have some info for French Canadians on planting options up on the site by the end of October.
@Pescalune was the main translator. She bought the guide over 5 years ago and built her own green roof down in the south of France. It is doing well.
