Thank You Federal Government????
2009-11-16 16:45:14I am feeling stimulated!
Seems that something has changed and perhaps some of the stimulus money is finally trickling down to us. The phones are ringing...
Last week we got a call on a project in Rosemead that will entail the design and installation of 5,000 sq ft of occupied roof garden space. This area will include paths and benches along with pergolas and maybe even a water feature. The other part of the roof (7,000 sq ft) will have a green roof made up of low growing sedums. And still another area will utilize living walls to hide the mechanical element of the roof top heating and air conditioning system.
Still another call came in from a local Landscape Architect for a job with a major downtown law firm. They have a very unique space that will have a green wall as part of the décor along with potted plants surrounding an outdoor seating area. This will be "the" place for members of the firm to hang out. We're proposing a system that is new for us, but I have been coveting one for some time now. I really like the design. We will have one displayed in our plantscape trialing area in about two weeks.
So what happens when a major local restaurant hears about our living edible wall project happening at Pizzeria Mozza in Hollywood? They jump on board and want one too! We're in talks with the "powers that be" to create another custom edible wall in La Jolla. I cannot wait to see the first harvest.
I've also heard from an interior design firm and a moving consultant on two very different projects coming up in the near future. These are both projects for the interior plantscaping team, but I'm suggesting indoor green walls to augment their décor scheme. We'll see!
