Being a drive-thru, the architect wanted us to focus on air purifying plants, to help mitigate the car fumes as customers wait for their order.

Improving the air quality with plants
Being a drive-thru, the architect wanted us to focus on plants that had greater air purification properties, to help mitigate the car fumes as customers sit and wait for their order.
Pre-grown living walls
As the living walls were able to establish for over 12 weeks at our nursery in Chichester, when installed onsite there was instant impact with the plants being fully grown.
11 herbs and spices
Although, the 11 herbs and spices KFC are famous for were not part of the planting design, we did include Rosemary and Caryopteris incana (a perennial aromatic herb), which you should be able to notice by the scent.
