Do you have a flat roof on your house or shed? Now is the time to turn it into a flower meadow. Such a meadow consists of a specially composed mixture of no less than 40 types of plants. It is not just any green roof. Through an initiative from the municipality and the Centre for Nature and Environmental Education (CNME), you can receive up to 540 euros discount on the installation of your flower meadow.
Together with you, we want to make the neighborhood greener. A green roof helps with that. It makes the place where you live more attractive, provides cooling in the summer, and helps combat heat stress and waterlogging.
Where can you sign up?
You can register until September 1, 2025, via the CNME website. Be on time, as we process applications in the order they are received.
Why a flower meadow on your roof?
In many cities in South Limburg, the increase in hard surfaces (more stones, less green) is a growing problem. This leads to heat stress and poor water drainage.
A flower meadow on your roof:
- cools the environment and reduces heat stress
- absorbs rainwater and prevents waterlogging
- attracts insects and birds
- extends the lifespan of your roof covering
- looks beautiful – especially if you do it together with neighbors.
Let your roof bloom and contribute to a greener Maastricht.
