Urban Academy Maker NYC Goes Green with Florafelt Living Wall
Living Wall Education at Urban Academy Maker NYC using a Florafelt Recirc-33 mounted in the school’s hallway.
Urban Academy Maker NYC, a school dedicated to hands-on, project-based learning, is excited to announce a new addition to its campus: a 33-Pocket Recirc Living Wall System from Florafelt. The living wall, a vertical garden that will be installed in the school's hallway, is not only a beautiful addition but also a valuable educational tool.
The Recirc Living Wall System: A Sustainable and Educational Choice
The Florafelt Recirc Living Wall System was chosen for its sustainability, ease of use, and educational benefits. The system is self-contained and recirculates water, minimizing water waste and making it ideal for indoor environments. The system's modular design allows for easy customization and expansion, providing flexibility for future growth.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the living wall will serve as a teaching tool for students, offering hands-on learning opportunities in botany, horticulture, and environmental science. Students will be involved in the installation and maintenance of the wall, gaining valuable skills and knowledge about plant care and sustainable practices.
Students at Urban Academy Maker NYC learn to use Florafelt Wraps to learn about alternative ways to grow plants for vertical gardens.
Installation: A Collaborative Effort
The installation of the living wall will be a collaborative effort between Florafelt experts and the school community. Florafelt will provide guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring a successful installation. Students and staff will be involved in preparing the wall, planting the vegetation, and learning about the system's operation.
Looking Ahead: A Greener Future
The living wall is just one part of Urban Academy Maker NYC's commitment to sustainability and environmental education. The school hopes to inspire other educational institutions to incorporate green spaces and sustainable practices into their campuses.
Stay Tuned!
We will be sharing updates on the installation process and the impact of the living wall on our school community. Stay tuned for photos and videos of our green wall in action!
