Exterior living wall beneath Jetty St overbridge

Client Background

The Dunedin City Council is spending about $550,000 on an almost-complete project to transform the area with bluestone paving recycled from old cattle yards and cycle racks under the bridge spelling out "jetty", plus other features.

Havens of nature

A vertical garden on part of a historic ship on the side of a busy bridge is the latest addition to a Dunedin space, installed by Oasis Greenery Systems. The space under and beside the Jetty St overbridge in the heart of the warehouse precinct is a paved and shadowed landscape of concrete, asphalt and steel, but Darren Rice is providing small havens of nature he describes as "a vertical element in a horizontal situation".
