 | Living Walls Green over Grey creates custom living walls, or green walls, using a system that incorporates a frame, automated irrigation system, and panels that provide structure as well as support for plants. The panels do not use soil, relying instead on a lightweight, porous growing medium that retains moisture and allows the roots to penetrate and strengthen the walls. The system is capable of growing anything from ground cover to small trees. • WEc1: Water-Efficient Landscaping Green Over Grey Vancouver, BC, Canada greenovergrey.com [ Reader Service CIRCLE 101] |
