Founded in 1893, #PhippsConservatory and Botanical Gardens has been Pittsburgh's green oasis, for more than 120 years. The LEED Silver Conservatory is a green leader among public gardens – recognized for its commitment to sustainability, including environmental conservation, renewable energy, green building design, and healthy living. Built in 2006, Phipps Conservatory's 36,000-square-foot Production Greenhouse earned LEED Platinum for Existing Buildings, Operations and Maintenance in 2012, becoming the first greenhouse in the world to achieve this certification. In 2016, Phipps' latest step forward in its outreach mission, was the installation of #greenwalls to demonstrate how families and community groups can grow their own fresh, healthy produce even where garden space is limited.
Designed and installed by Michael Bechtel, the Display Horticulturist at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, they have the opportunity to study, evaluate, and learn about growing edibles on space-efficient vertical gardens. After completing testing with several living wall systems on the south facing wall of its Production Greenhouse Facility, Phipps now boasts 10 LiveWall Inspire standard panels, with a total of 240 #LiveWall planter modules. In the spring, beets, carrots, collard greens, kale, and kohlrabi grow in the vertical garden. Summer plantings include basil, rosemary, thyme, celery root, and various peppers. Phipps Conservatory puts vertical food gardening on display with its living walls, and growing fresh produce on the outdoor vertical garden both educates and inspires visitors. And a visit to Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens to see the green walls can be tasty as well as inspiring. Guests can see vegetables and herbs growing organically on the green walls, and then taste them in delicious dishes served at Café Phipps, named by Food & Wine magazine as a "Best Museum Restaurant.”
