    Eco Walls

    Eco Walls, based in Bordentown, NJ, is expanding the green footprint in urban environments. Where new construction in urban environments often means losing greenspace, Eco Walls reverses that trend using living walls. They grow their plants right in their greenhouse in a proprietary blend of soilless medium design to wick and lock in moisture while providing optimum levels of oxygen, and beneficial microbes ...

Greenscaped buildings has created two gorgeous greenwalls with Tournesol’s products. Above is the Pizzeria Mozza wall in Hollywood, owned by Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group. The first shows the installation process – they finished installing February 24th, and the next image from is a follow up. You can see all the edibles growing upwards in the second one! The wall has several variations of sage, geraniums, parsley, mint and lettuce, along with Italian dandelion, bull’s blood beets, pansies, rosemary, Chinese celery, chicory, spinach and hon tsai tai. It’s been a pretty successful project overall and in a few weeks, they’ll be adding two rows of ornamentals to the top of the system.

Also, last month they finished an ornamental wall for a local law firm who just moved into a high-rise in Downtown San Diego. They have a great courtyard area at the end of their 22nd floor of their building. You can see the dramatic effect the wall has on the space in the second picture down, and how it helps frame the amazing view they have of the harbor! The picture immediately below is a close up of the left panel. Some of the ornamentals we used include bromeliads, bird’s nest ferns, imperial red philodendrons, spider plants, sword ferns, pothos and nephytis.

Living wall installation in Brazil

Pierre-André Martin from eMbyá in Brazil sent me a great video of a time lapse of a vertical garden build. This is a short animation of an 8 square meter Brazilian living wall created by eMbyá, a young landscape architecture and environment firm from Rio de Janeiro.

As it shows on the video it is a totally customized to the space and has more than 20 different species. Some of the vegetal highlight are rare native Brazilian philodendrons such as philodendron panduriforme or philodendron radiathum. Native and exotic bromelias also made part of this composition of more than 180 plants.

The time lapse video show a 4 days work using a physical support made from recycled toothpaste tubes shaped into panels covered with the traditional geotextile felt. What a great idea.
