Living Wall Installation
In Ithica, NY, Marguerite instructed the volunteers on how to transplant the sedums into the living wall panels made of HDPE. The plan had been to install a greenroof, but to retrofit the roof so it was strong enough to support a green roof would’ve cost too much, so the plan changed. A living wall was installed instead and its placement at the side of the building allowed it to catch rainwater run-off. After the sedums had a chance to get their roots established in the green wall panels, the panels were hung on the wall to create this living wall.
