Service
Our business model is based on offering the highest level of service in the industry. We understand the nature of the construction industry and work with our customers to deliver the plants you need, when you need them, not on an arbitrary schedule.
Expertise
We have numerous R&D plots on site to test plants, and we work with several universities and industry experts, supporting various green roof research projects. We have tested over three hundred plant species and varieties and offer the best of these in our catalog. With hundreds of acres of planted green roofs, we have experience in what makes a green roof successful - and why.
Responsibility
Emory Knoll Farms is dedicated to sustainability both in our environment and business practices. We continue to expand the sustainable design features in our operations. For example, solar power pumps all the water used in our greenhouses and photovoltaic cells help supply our electrical needs. The remainder of the electricity we use is 100% wind generated.
Innovation
Our own proven Regional Green Roof Plant blends. Mixed flats provide a broad mix of plants that are proven in various green roofs conditions in your project area. We apply our broad geographical, horticultural, and roofing system experience to carefully select up to 20 different plants that are specifically optimized in that particular climate region. This variety of plants in one tray makes a meadow-style planting successful and beautiful. No other nursery has the level of experience to let them stand behind their product with the confidence that we can.
