Teens worked with staff at Biomed Realty to develop themes that would be appropriate for the planters. Once the themes of local history and landscapes were chosen, teens each created their own mural designs on 3D digital models of the planters using Procreate for iPad. 14 designs were chosen and each teen painted their own design onto a planter.
