Questions

What questions are important to think about in designing what plants should be in the solarium?
(back to solarium home)

Native vs. non-native What is the space where plants can go? Are there limitations to the type of plants for the space? How do other Rubenstein community member think about types of plants? What's the budget? Who will take care of them?

(from Walker) What are the shapes/positions/depth of the beds? Are there policies about edible plants? We talked about it a bit already, but what exactly is the water system like?

Water feature... under the planters?

Will only organic fertilizers be used? Drainage system? What do the beds/pots look like? Hydroponic plants, regular dirt beds, both or something else? Should less water needing plants (xeric?) be used? How much humidity would be created from different plants?

Ideas: mixed environments with different educational messages.

What's the point: Clean the air Education (e.g. functions/role that plants can play) Aesthetics (e.g. happy, nature, comfort, biophilia, cover, flowers) Economics (e.g. harvest material, food, decorations) Transitional space
