St. Louis Planter
Overview
The creation of The St. Louis Planter resulted from Gateway Greening’s Urban Roots participation. Originally designed and created for placement at Kiener Plaza in the heart of downtown St. Louis, this unique landscape planter is available for purchase and placement at other public spaces managed by non-profit civic and municipal organizations as well as landscapes associated with for-profit businesses.
