Artist Statement

Just down the street from Habitat Horticulture’s headquarters, a newly built fence along the greenway bike path was quickly covered in graffiti. Rather than let the wall become a lasting eyesore, we saw an opportunity to showcase the potential of Meadowall™, our pre-seeded panel system designed to turn blank vertical surfaces into biodiverse meadows.

In total, we covered 1,500 square feet of fence with panels seeded with native California wildflowers and grasses. Within weeks, the surface transformed into a living tapestry of seasonal color and texture—providing habitat for pollinators, filtering the air, and softening urban noise. What was once a target for graffiti is now a vibrant, dynamic landscape that engages passersby and demonstrates how even the most utilitarian surfaces can become ecological assets.
