West Michigan’s Living Walls—Thanks to LiveWall
Oct 21, 2025
From the Amway Grand to the John Ball Zoo, living plant walls are redefining beauty, sustainability, and community pride.
What makes West Michigan cool? It’s the innovators who turn ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences. Enter Dave MacKenzie and Lisa Wagasky of LiveWall, the team behind the lush, vertical gardens that are popping up across Grand Rapids and beyond.
A subsidiary of Dave’s longstanding nursery, LiveWall was founded to bring vegetation into the built environment—and it’s working. Their plant walls aren’t just eye candy; they’re engineered systems with built-in irrigation, locally manufactured components, and designs that boost air quality while adding vibrant beauty to city streets.
You’ve probably already seen their work without realizing it—at the Amway Grand Hotel, the Rapid transit center, the downtown market, or even at the zoo. Each installation blends design, sustainability, and community impact, making LiveWall a global leader with roots firmly planted in West Michigan.
Lisa’s passion shines through as she helps clients—from residential homeowners to international resorts—design walls that pop with color, texture, and life. And while LiveWall installations can be found as far away as Dubai, nothing beats a walking tour of Grand Rapids to see these living works of art up close.
🌱 West Michigan isn’t just building—it’s growing. And it’s the visionaries like Dave and Lisa who make this place extraordinary.
