Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – North America’s Largest Green Wall Unveiled in PA
Pennsylvania is again home to the largest green wall in all of North America. The wall, designed and built by GSky Plant Systems, will be unveiled today at the Longwood Gardens, located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The previous holder of this distinction is the green wall at the PNC Bank building in Pittsburgh. The project is a collaboration with interior landscaper, Ambius.
“The Longwood Gardens project has solidified the momentum of interest in green walls,” says GSky CEO Hal Thorne in a statement.
The green wall is 4.072 square feet and consists of 47,000 plants. According to the statement, the plants provide the same amount of oxygen as 90 fourteen foot tall trees and will clean over 15,000 pounds of dust and other particulates from the air every year.
As with any garden, the wall will need to be maintained. The wall uses a 3,595 panel system with structural growth medium instead of soil to secure the plants. Additionally, the plants are watered through a 3,800 foot vertical drip irrigation system that relies on a computer monitoring system to track usage and irrigation needs. An improvement upon traditional irrigation systems, the vertical drip system conserves over 90 more water. According to Gsky President Chad Sichello, the “green wall will last a very long time, as long as the building itself.”
“The green wall is an extraordinary addition to Longwood,” said Longwood Gardens Director Paul Redman in a statement. “The size and beauty of the green wall will amaze our guests as well as advance our continuing commitment to sound environmental practices.”

Because the porch, walkway, front steps and front door are the first aspects of your home that a guest will encounter, it is important to create an experience for visitors that is warm and inviting. From the time a guest steps onto the curb to get to your house, he should feel as if he is stepping into a new world. The goal should always be to find some economical way to create both ambiance and a signature stamp — something that is uniquely you.
