Living Wall Review

Basha Osinski, landscape architecture student at UC Berkeley Extension, took West Coast Green's 'dare greatly' challenge to heart. She decided to begin testing and reviewing a variety of green building products for landscaping, such as ELT's living wall system.

An example installation of the system was shown at the conference as a backdrop to the keynote speakers. (see for example, video of David Suzuki, Jerry Brown, Susan Susanka, or Al Gore on Green To-Do's You Tube channel).

For Basha's first test, she has purchased 4 units and planted them. They will be hung outdoors during the SF Bay Area's wet season, and monitored through rain, cold, wind, and eventually a long dry spell with occasional hot peaks (spring, summer and fall).
