World's largest living wall - now & September 2012 + Edible infrastructure meets middle school

With the title of "World's Largest Living Wall" constantly changing hands, I decided it's time to put a date on the blog post. Pretty soon, I'll need not just month and year, but the day as well!

I was excited to read about the current champ on a reputable website...when I noticed that the designers name and the pictures looked kind of familiar.




Wouldn't you know it, this title holder is actually the title holder from September 2012.
The beauty of the web stories that are constantly circulating!!!

-This is a definite first! An apartment ad which boasts its green roof as a main selling feature.

-Forgot to add this to the most recent permaculture post, there's an online course which runs from January 21 through the spring run by the fine folks at Cornell University.

-The Badger Rock Middle School currently has 100 sixth, seventh and eigth graders but will expand to 150 students next year. Students learn in a state-of-the-art building on Madison’s south side utilizing, in part, a pared down Growing Power curriculum In addition to some incredible amenities available through the adjoined community center (two commercial incubator kitchens and a greenhouse) is the possibility of a future yogurt producing room! Virtually the entire building is made with reclaimed material and all of the landscaping is edible. The article is a must read!

-I have speculated as to which city might be the next to get a High Linesque project, New York's amazing aging elevated railway turned park. After all, it is the newest urban development solution. And our winner could be...New York! Wait, what?
