Bring nature into education with Ecopatch living walls, green roofs, and living screens – designed and created for schools and learning environments.
At Ecopatchwall, we help schools transform their buildings and playgrounds with sustainable, low-maintenance living walls and green roofs. These systems improve air quality, reduce noise, encourage biodiversity, and provide unique outdoor learning spaces.
