According to the Museum:

“The Green Roof on the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum is part exhibit, part declaration and part solution:

• AN EXHIBIT: The rooftop garden at the Museum is a learning opportunity for visitors and researchers in the field of Green Design. The Museum has brought the best available experts together to create a state-of-the-art garden.

• A DECLARATION: By defining itself as the premier museum focused on the Midwestern environment, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum takes on a mission of teaching and acting on one of the crucial issues of our time: protecting and conserving our environment.

• A SOLUTION: Installation of the Rooftop Garden—and other Green Design initiatives—contribute in a real way to storm water management.”
