Growing Green Wall

[jojo54]

I was in White Rock, BC visiting my SIL and came across this green wall on their library. The pics don't do it justice and I hope to visit again when everything is growing. If you are in the area check it out - it's a real eye-opener.

I posted more pics on my blog for those interested.

That is cool! Is it an actual Wall?

Yes it is the outside wall of the library/police station. It looks like there is a covering on the wall with pockets where the plants are growing. They get nutrients and water somehow between the wall and this covering.

some buildings in Huntsville have those. it's become pretty trendy. I don't know much about it. It is neat looking though.

That is an amazing idea! Not only could you create some pretty awesome displays, but it would put in a bit for the environment too

There should be more of those around.
