Can walls of fresh vegetables help create community? A partnership between Green Living Technologies, Elmslie Osler Architect and the Urban Farming Food Chain shows that the answer is yes.
Green walls also lower the heat index in mostly concrete and steel neighborhoods, and help combat clobal warming. The pilot program in Los Angeles has four walls in place. The walls are 24 to 30 feet by about 6 feet tall, built of recycled stainless steel, and have produced harvests of strawberries, peppers, tomatillos and other vegetables. The big surprise was the high level of community engagement and connection they produced.
