Carrie Engel of Valley View Farms will show you how to build a green-roof birdhouse Sunday on WBAL-TV in Baltimore during the 9 a.m. news segment.
Inspired by a visit to a grower producing plants for a school's green roof, and by the residents of Edenwald, the Baltimore retirement community, who have installed a partial green roof on a terrace, Carrie decided to take the green roof idea to heart and build one for feathered visitors to the garden.
