Green Wall challenge...



 'Globally there are many examples of successful green walls but few in similar climatic conditions to Fremantle, where there are long, hot summers, high evaporation rates and salty sea breezes'. This is very true and when I spotted this 'trial' green wall when in Fremantle last week it was a coolish, cloudy day. Even though planted with tough, resilient to a hot dry climate species and fertigated with a monitored watering system I wonder how the plants will cope with a week of 40+C beating down relentlessly on the white brick wall, makes me hot just thinking about it :) If you'd like to know more about the project check it out here. I'm kind of hoping that despite the odds it will survive because they do look pretty fabulous! Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe...
