Overall, I would like to build a hydroponic green wall in Fresno California. The community could really use a healthy alternative. The plants I described above would do great in the climate they can be in the sun a lot and can grow in part shade. Also, by using the felt system it actually saves more water than using soil. It was a bit challenging in the beginning; I have never used padlock or made a concept map. But overall, I got a lot of great information about green walls and how to construct one. I researched many different topics and watched videos then was able to answer any questions I had.
