Architect Marika Shiori-Clark's Living Wall Bursts With Life for Cleveland's Hingetown Neighborhood

Hingetown is coming to life with Cleveland's largest living wall taking center stage. Architect Marika Shiroi-Clark envisioned this neighborhood's transformation by developing core buildings to build vibrant public spaces to the once-desolate neighborhood. The vertical garden creates an iconic destination that softens the once industrial area.

Marika made the green wall experience using Florafelt Vertical Garden Planters with the help from public watershed incentives and community volunteers. The Florafelt system is easy and affordable enough for everyone to get involved. The ongoing love and care the wall receives makes it the beauty it is today.

Architect Marika Shioiri-Clark and a group of dedicated community volunteers bring the head-turning beauty of living walls to Cleveland's up-and-coming Hingetown district.

A wide variety of sedums and hearty grasses will grow into a seamless cliffside of cascading foliage.

Reclaimed water from rooftop rain runoff will irrigate the vertical garden for an exciting, eye-catching and ecological icon in an area flourishing from urban renewal.
