Growing Green with Phytoremediation

Abstract

This thesis is premised on the basis that students benefit from both theoretical and practical applications. In this project, I have created an outdoor, interactive space that demonstrates the intersection between the science of phytoremediation and its practical benefits. In this project I have designed an outdoor classroom space for a school in South Beach, Miami, where elementary school children, as well as their teachers, parents, and the community, can experience the science of phytoremediation at work.
