They state that each pot can hold enough water to keep plants hydrated.. but you have to wonder how frequently they have to be watered and the work involved. If you’ve got a high green wall, you’re on a ladder each time you need to water unless you install an irrigation system. With this system, it doesn’t hide the irrigation pipes quite as nicely as a Patrick Blanc style living wall or a Woolly Pocket vertical garden… the pipes would be right out there in the open which would definitely impact the look. If you’re willing to go to the trouble of hand watering each planter, though, there’s no denying their wall looks good.

However, the company also partnered with the Green Wall Company which makes solid green walls instead of a wall of planters. That technique allows for a bigger wall with less of a watering headache. You can see in the photo below that there’s a metal resevoir holding the water which will be pumped to the top of the mini vertical garden automatically through a timer. You can’t see the irrigation pipes either.

I love the closeup of the wall below. It clearly shows each plant growing out of a little felt pocket. Some walls use perlite, others dirt, and others just let the plant’s bare roots sit in the pocket. There’s typically two layers of felt at a minimum. The front blanket of felt has the rips and the back felt blanket is one solid piece of synthetic felt. The 20 ft high wall of plants was designed by Tod Williams Bille Tsien Architects.

You can see the green wall was planted using a style similar to Patrick Blanc’s. Plants were grouped together in long, artsy lines at a gentle angle.  Although this wall only used green plants, the different shades and textures on the wall make it very eye-catching. From curbed
