Below you can see the outdoor living wall that covers a pedestrian overpass that connects the mall. There are lots of hardy low profile plants here that illustrate how you can have a palette of plant colour even in the winter in our Pacific Northwest Climate. We spotted lavender, Japanese forest grass, junipers and hydrangeas among many others -growing on the vertical.
Below you can see the walls inside the mall. The height and abundance of the wall is quite impressive. Lush tropicals seem to thrive inside the mall.
It's exciting to see even the local mall is going "green". There are lots of residential products out there for you to have your own living wall such as this one from Lee Valley. I can see how this would be enticing, especially in a small space balcony where growing vertical could give you way more square footage of gardening space. At present I still have some horizontal space left to fill, now if only I could buy some plants at the mall!
