Since starting this blog, I’ve gotten a number of emails about:

  • How to make a moss wall
  • Where to get Sphagnum moss
  • Who installs vertical gardens in LA
  • Whether I’d personally be able to install a vertical garden in the UAE or the UK
  • Where to get lighting systems for a living wall
  • Whether I’d want to talk about a certain company’s living wall system
  • Etc…

I say that to say I think there’s room for getting a bit of a living wall community going here. As some people are learning how to build living walls, others are wanting them installed, and others are offering installation services, we could share some knowledge with each other by providing answers to questions and solutions to problems.

There’s about 300 people that come to this site per day. Each visitor views an average of over 3 pages per visit.. and the only topic covered here really is living walls. That’s a pretty niche group with a specific interest.

So I installed a forum.

I’ve put up 4 forum topics for you to post in.. but if you want more topics let me know by commenting below and I’ll add them. It’s free and easy to register so if you’ve got questions/problems or want to showcase the living walls you’ve built or want to offer some advice please feel free to post it on the forum. It’ll take a bit to get the forum rolling most likely.. but slowly and steadily we can hopefully get  a community of people interested in living walls exchanging solutions and services that’ll help us all out!

If you want to help kick things off, here’s the forum!

By the way.. I had previously blogged about putting up a living wall installation directory. I never found the right software to do a decent job with that… but I added a section in the forum for installers to put their information in. So, if you install vertical gardens, please post your info in the directory to share with others. You can post your contact info or your website if you like.. along with any pictures you want to share.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you’re wanting a living wall installed, you may want to consider posting the job in the living wall forum and see what happens. I’ve added a section there too if you like.

The forum is pretty new.. so if you’re having problems with it at all, please email me at walsh dot gavin @ gmail.com or use the contact link above.
