A Lawn Tour Atop a Skyscraper
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society leads public tours of the green roof at
PECO’s downtown Philadelphia headquarters on the third Tuesday of each month,
April through October, at 5pm. The green roof helps keep rainwater out of Philadelphia’s
aged sewer system and captures 60 to 70 percent (more during the growing season)
of rainwater that falls on the roof, an estimated 1.6 million gallons per year.
At 45,000 square feet, the PECO green roof offers stunning views of the city.
Tours are $5 for PHS members and $10 for non-members. Pre-registration is required
two days in advance of the tour and must be accompanied by payment. There is
a short orientation preceding the tour.
