Greening the Globe: Beautiful Living Walls & Vertical Gardens. Most of today's vertical gardening systems can be credited to French botanist, Patrick Blanc, the pioneer of these enviro-friendly, architectural masterpieces. Since Blanc's living wall creations were first incorporated into modern construction in the late 1980s, many have taken his initial idea and built upon it, producing some pretty incredible works of art.

The Process » GSky Plant Systems, Inc. - The leading provider of Green Walls in North America. Our team begins the process by discussing with your team the goals, considerations, challenges, and opportunities of your Vine Container project.
The Green Wall design can be designed by your team or our plant designer; however we suggest that your designers work with us from project inception to follow important plant and design-related guidelines – saving time down the road. During this phase, we’ll work with your team to establish an initial plan that addresses: Colorful d-i-y shipping pallet planters (w safe paints info) Photo: stacy k floral Innovative uses for shipping pallets continue: here a play on shipping pallet gardens, painted bright colors and hung on a wall.
In a post we wrote about how-to transform a shipping pallet into a vertical, layered garden, some readers brought up the question of food-safe paints for pallets that will house herbs, greens, nasturtiums and other edible plants. Kate Payne of Hip Girl’s Home (whose book we’re featuring in a giveaway) took the initiative and emailed the Old Fashioned Milk Paint folks, who make a completely non-toxic, zero VOC paint and sealant. Wrote Kate: “…air quality matters here, but so does sustained exposure to moisture and possible leaching, this is a great question!” Mobile Vine Wall - Concept by Antoine Desjardins at Coroflot.

Genius in a Bottle @ PET-bottle vertical garden, São Paulo - Brazil. Posted by ScrapHacker.com on måndag, oktober 31, 2011 · Leave a Comment This genius hanging garden in the form of old plastic bottles, strung together and planted with flowers, spices and medicinal herbs, was designed by Brazilian design studio Rosenbaum.
The vertical garden was part of TV show Caldeirao do Huck which help boost the quality of life of poor families. The PET bottle wall was part of a drastic home makeover project for a family in the outskirts of Sao Paulo. The response to this hack was massive, so the team @ Rosenbaum decided to feature a D.I.Y manual in their site – which I feature below: A D.I.Y tutorial of the Pet Bottle Vertical Garden. Waste Not Want Not: An adaptable green wall made using recycled materials. Green walls do make it easy to add a touch of greenery to an urban setting which is equally beautiful as well.

Chamberlain’s grow wall project, called the “Waste Not Want Not”, is made using discarded plastic water bottles and wooden pallets salvaged from the installation’s abandoned site in Ontario.
Aiming to make a powerful statement that demonstrates the importance of recycling and reuse, the project sees the creation of a dynamic green wall from scrap. The Green Walls Column.
