Greetings!

This month we are excited to share our refreshed Living Walls Case Studies with our Registered Trainers!

We’re also sharing links to biophilia-related posts on GPGB’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. Please enjoy reading and sharing this information with your communities and clients.

To grow the demand for access to nature in the built environment we request a Retweet, Favorite or Regram from each of you.

Need help figuring out how to Regram? Here’s a helpful guide.
