Rooftop Gardens and Green Walls

Overview

No matter how small your living space is, it is a fundamental requirement of wellbeing to connect with nature’s green spaces and living things.

As suburban blocks become smaller and cities grow upwards, we need to think more creatively about how to connect with nature and plants in small spaces at home and work.

So if you've got an outside wall you'd like to turn into a living, green feature, or a rooftop ready for renovating, read on!
