Vertical Greening with Native Missouri Plants
Stage 1: understanding plant growing requirements
Design + Build + Research
How
Custom built 18”x18” wooden boxes with an irrigation system. Using a variety of native Missouri plants who typically have shallow root systems and provide cover or food for insects.
