Show House Shed Finds Permanent Home at Urban Roots

A Sustainable Showpiece Takes Root

This spring, Urban Roots partnered with Buffalo Spree, Joy Kuebler Landscape Architect, and Buffalo ReUse to create a sustainable garden for the Junior League Show House. The centerpiece was a stunning shed designed by Kuebler's team, built almost entirely from salvaged materials from Buffalo ReUse—complete with a green roof and a rainwater-fed sink.

After the Show House closed, the shed was relocated to the Urban Roots yard, where it now serves as an architectural anchor and a testament to creative reuse.

"It will have veggies under cold frames, a rain barrel feeding a sink, a potting shed with a green roof, a pergola, native shrubs and trees, a compost tumbler, and sculpture... Attendees will hopefully see that you can have sustainable strategies and still have everything attractive and easy-to-maintain."
