THE PROCESS
The Green Wall was grown for 12 weeks prior to being delivered to the site at a local nursery and then delivered to the site and installed in a single installation. The entire installation took 10 days to complete.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is done using a small ladder as the highest point of the walls is eleven feet. The exterior wall flourishes with tropical plants that you'd normally only be able to grow indoors, in Miami, outside is warm enough year round to support these species in their native tropical habitat.
