14 different species

We were delighted to work with New Square on this long-awaited scheme to help totally transform West Bromwich town centre. The two walls were the final touches to the central piazza landscaping, providing natural colour and foliage all-year round. Plants such as Carex morrowii 'Silver Sceptre', Hebe pingufolia 'Pagei', Pachysandra terminalis and Phyllitis scolopendrium were amongst the 14 plant species in the walls.

The living walls help us to create extra green spaces which are important for creating habitats and enhancing enjoyment for visitors.
