Living Wall
The Living Walls in Classrooms Project engaged children in Rose Avenue elementary school to teach them about plants and biodiversity, and gave them an opportunity to build a living 'green' wall in their classroom. Our pilot project concluded in June 2014 at the Rose Avenue Junior Public School in Toronto.
Project objectives:
- Provide in-class, hands-on sessions teaching students how to plant and build their own living wall.
- Provide a workshop on the connections between air pollution, biodiversity and sustainability.
- Help students gain project management skills during the building and maintenance of their living wall.
- Continuous in-class monitoring to make sure that the living walls are thriving and healthy.
- Evaluation of the project completed by participating students and teachers.
- Development of a final report that will outline a framework for future project expansion, including strategies to implement this project in other classrooms across Canada.
