David Lattomus

Lattomus’ innovative teaching idea, “Living Wall,” focuses on an urban farming method of growing an indoor garden. The “Living Wall” is an 8-channel vertical wall with reservoirs that distribute nutrient solution to the garden. All of the harvested produce will be used in the school’s full-service restaurant. Students will be actively involved in, and responsible for seeding, germinating and planting herbs and head lettuces into the wall to create a hands-on learning experience around growing produce and sustainable practices in agriculture.
