It combines a support structure, a set of easily replaceable plant-panel-pods with fully grown plants, and a solar powered smart irrigation to create a living umbrella. This self-contained system is easy to maintain, saves water, enables the soil to be located above patrons’ heads while freeing up floor space, and offers a beautiful, mobile, widely deployable, living shade canopy.
