New Haven, CT – 272 individual plants were installed recently on the lobby walls of the Long Wharf
Maritime Center in New Haven.
In an effort to create a more sustainable environment in this downtown high‐rise, property manager Fusco Management Company chose to install a TerraScreenTM interior Green Plant Wall system― the first of its kind in Connecticut.
Green Plant Walls reduce carbon dioxide and increase oxygen levels, providing a natural solution to cleaner indoor air.
Green Plant Wall supporters boast that plants lower workplace stress and enhance worker productivity and creativity by increasing fresh oxygen levels and providing natural aesthetics.
The installed panels, cache pot hangers, and mounting brackets are made of 100% recycled steel scrap metal, and the wall’s internal irrigation system requires a minimal amount of water to keep plants healthy and hydrated.
Plant types include Neoregalia-Voodoo Doll (Pink Bromeliads), Dracaena Compacta (Janet Craig), and Agloanema Maria.
