Living Walls and Vertical Gardens
true art.
Flowerbox – A Contemporary Green Wall
May 22nd
Flowerbox, a company from Quebec, Canada, has a few contemporary living wall designs. These flowerboxes are designed to hang inside your home. They’re basically small planters inside three different types of boxes. You can order cardboard – yes, cardboard – aluminum or ceramic. The reason that the cardboard works for the planters is because you still water the planters traditionally/horizantally. Just take the planter down, water it carefully into the compacted soil, then hang it back up. The planters come with 1, 3, or 4 hole versions in a variety of colours.

Kuwait’s 360 Mall’s Vertical Garden
May 18th
The Gardens in the 360 Mall is the only place where you can find a vertical garden in Kuwait. The garden centre also boasts Japanese Koi, reflecting pools, cafes and seats on warm wood decks.
Since introducing the new vertical garden, the 360 MALL has been attracting many visitors across the country and from around the world. The zone is surrounded by glass walls which allows the sun’s rays to penetrate the mall’s surroundings providing a naturally beautiful scenic view.
Kuwait's living wall
The vertical garden grows plants without any soil (hydroponically), and can be implemented indoors or out. The organic architecture is created by sprinkling plant seeds on a fabric layer which allows plants to grow naturally across the available space. The process of watering and fertilization is automated on a timed irrigation system.
The mall's greenwall
The 620 square meter vertical garden includes 20,500 plants from over 101 different species. It’s a perfect combination between nature and art. The wall has a built-in water filtration system which helps the plants thrive without worry of a build up of excess salts. The vertical garden purifies the air by removing some VOC’s and adding oxygen to the room through photosynthesis.
Kuwait Mall's gardens
360 MALL’s Vertical Garden demonstrates creativity and innovation and is the perfect addition to a retail center known for its fine dining and high-end shops.
