Event Details

Canopy: Melbourne Green Roof Forum brings together people to share their passion, ideas and experience greening our cities through green roofs, walls and other green urban infrastructure. 

Guildford Lane Gallery Guildford Lane Gallery

 

Our next Canopy event will focus on Green Walls and as a special treat we'll be holding the event at the Guildford Lane Gallery where we'll be able to check out their recently installed permanent green wall and hear the story of how it came to be.

Date - 25/05/11

Time - 6:00 - 7:30pm

Venue - Guildford Lane Gallery - 20-24 Guildford Lane Melbourne

Join us for a drink and hear from two guest speakers who each have a strong desire to see more green walls appearing across our urban landscape. As always, this will be followed by an open mic session where you can ask a question or promote your green roof related products or services.

 

Speakers 

Mark Paul - ExParrot Landscapes / The Green Wall Company

Mark Paul is a horticulturalist and marine biologist and the driving creative force behind the design and installation of the Guildford Lane Gallery green wall.
 
Mark has worked for CSIRO and Fisheries and Oceanography on estuaries and coral reefs and his  personal passion for sail boarding resulted in Mark representing Australia in sail boarding internationally. 
In the early 90s Mark re-focused his passion towards landscape design by developing The Greenwall Company, a premier producer of modular and custom-designed green walls in Australia.

The Greenwall Company is responsible for many of Australia's green wall installations, including the Qantas First Lounges, Google HQ Sydney and Guilford Lane Gallery.
