The project we are working on is achieving SSc2. Green roof will be installed on portion of the roof and the green area on the ground cannot be extended. Can using plans in huge pots located between the parking spots contribute to the compliance with SSc5.1 and SSc5.2 under LEED CS 2009?

They could theoretically count toward SSc5.2, due to the provision that says that for projects earning SSc2, green roofs and pedestrian-oriented hardscape can qualify. However, in practice, a parking lot with potted plants doesn't sound to me like "pedestrian-oriented hardscape."Relative to SSc5.1, this area definitely would not count, since the focus is more on plant and wildlife habitat. Make sense?
