Notes for Designers and Architects
THE SYSTEM
Each 500mm x 250mm x 100mm deep module holds 14 'linked planting cells’ and is supported by Fixing Bars, for attachment to any vertical surface. A Waterproof membrane is incorporated. Installation is simple, and modules can be removed without disturbance for access, maintenance or repair.

THE PLANTING MEDIUM
This is a peat free soil-based system and the entire frontage is a growing surface. Each angled plant cell is 150mm deep, supporting strong root growth and a wide species selection.

THE IRRIGATION
Irrigation is essential. We recommend irrigating from a tank or rainwater harvesting system. An in-line plant feeder enables the wall to receive nutrients. The unique design allows water to flow throughout the panel. It also allows roots to spread throughout the entire module.

THE PLANTS
Plants can include shrub, perennial, annual and bulb classifications for year round coverage and seasonal interest. The nursery ‘growing time’, which allows optimal planting density and root establishment will vary with season. We recommend setting out modules at our nursery 2 months in advance of the installation date. Your wall can be viewed any time after planting at the nursery.
