Green Gateway together with Walls Alive have completed Western Australia’s largest living wall at 30m2 for Project Neon in Balcatta WA.
Amanda Morphett was responsible for the design and plants choice, plus some good old hard yakka:)
Walls Alive provided the wall modules and Amazon Soils created the bio char growing medium.
The design incorporated a mixture of exotics and predominantly Australian Native plants.
We will observe and monitor over time how each different plant species develops performs in the specialised growing medium.
We will also monitor the thermal performance of the building, water use and energy savings.
