Grass roofing products

Minder

I caught the tail end of a gardening programme on BBC at the weekend where Nick Knowles and team built a shed and roofed it with a sedum type plantation. The grass roof was laid on a rubber modular sheet that provides a moisture barrier for the timber roof structure. On top of the rubber mat was laid what looked like a carpet underlay sown with plants - it's that material that I am interested in. Anyone have any product names for this material?

Thanks - I posted a thread at the weekend that included a link to Patrick Blanc's website. I not looking for a vertical garden as such. I need the name of the product - looks like carpet underlay sown with grasses and other small plants. Anyone have any ideas?

Believe this is the programme you're talking about, I saw it too... maybe you can watch the episode back online or find out more from the official website...?
