Vertical Green #2
I have been through some of the benefits of green walls with some examples previously, here, but since there have been so many fantastic examples of late, I felt the need to give you all a second helping of green delights.
{The Florafelt F12 Greenwall growing panel by Fytogreen Australia as used in Kim & Matt's outdoor space on The Block Sky High 2013. The panels are made from 100% recycled PET plastic felt and are available from The Block Shop}
{The outdoor space of Melbourne residence by Morris Partnership with green walls by Fytogreen Australia, way back in 2009. This two-piece vertical garden is supported by an architectural statement wall to the courtyard, with views to it from most rooms. The foliage includes a mix of native grasses and ferns}
{Cityforest Greenwall Pockets are the DIY version of the wonderful herb garden seen in The Block Sky High 2013 season (Josh and Jenna's Kitchen) and available from The Block Shop (on SALE at the moment!). They are also available direct from Cityforest Greenwalls}
{Pseudo-greenwall using fixed potted plants and clustered planting by The Greenwall Company has a similar effect}
{Accessible green roof / roof garden by The Greenwall Company}
{Your green wall doesn't have to be a massive, dominant feature. It could be a simple art piece or a narrow relief from hard surfaces like this one from Urban Greenwall}
{Easily placed inside or out, the Harvey Superbag from Eden Now is a simple DIY vertical garden kit}
You don't have to commit to a full green wall inside your home or outdoor living space. Here are a few alternatives that can be changed around easily, especially if you are as fickle as I am
{The Stackable Garden Tower from Tait can be made as large or compact as you desire, in a mix of colours and cutout patterns}
{GardenWall boxes in the pebble design by Tait}
{The Urbio wall storage that I had shown you previously in the first 'Vertical Green' instalment here, available from Top3 by Design can be all green or fill some containers with cooking utensils, pens, cut flowers, dried herbs, keys, coins, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination}
{Bonnie & Neil Shadow boxes and timber wall trellis and vases are a more versatile way to get your green on}
{Mister Moss Fibonacci Stand and Lemon tree currently only available in a few Aussie states but hopefully that will change once stockists increase! I almost got one of these when we were living in Melbourne, but knew I wouldn't be able to get it across the WA border }
{Object/Interface's Babylon pendant is a quirky way to introduce green into a tight space without cluttering it. Available as a single pendant or three light cluster}
Of course, there are also a million different types of terrariums, hanging planters, air plants, wall plants and even framed moss or green wall art that you can get a hold of now. I’m constantly adding green ideas, big and small, professional and DIY, floral and foliage, to my Green Wall Pinterest page - follow it to keep informed. Click on any that you like - I try to link to the original images and sources so that you can get as much info as you need to do one of your own.
