Graffiti covered walls are being turned into wildflower meadows, and it’s helping clean the air, reduce noise, and bring wildlife back to cities!
This is Meadowall, a system created by Habitat Horticulture that turns blank city walls into vertical ecosystems.
Special panels made from recycled plastic bottles are pre-seeded with native wildflowers and grasses that are then easily installed onto chain link fences or walls. With simple irrigation systems running along the top.
Within a few weeks, they begin to bloom, transforming bare walls into thriving habitats for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
And it’s not just good for wildlife!
These living walls can reduce noise by up to 15 decibels, filter pollution from car exhausts, and even improve mental wellbeing by bringing more greenery into cities.
And maintenance is super easy, just a prune a couple times a year, and checkups to the watering system. With plants lasting for at least 5 years before needing to be reseeded.
Imagine if more of our cities looked like this.
