Joe Zazzera of Plant Solutions in Scottsdale just sent us over a link from an article that was just published on the www.drweil.com website. If you follow this blog you may have seen this post about Joe’s TerraScreen wall in his conference room, or this post about his exterior VGM edible wall/vegetable garden. The VGM edible wall just won an award at the Calscape Expo awards in San Diego, but we’ll save that for another post.
Joe has been experimenting with nearly all the different living wall systems out there, and coming up with a few ideas of his own. He installed a large living wall at a restaurant in Orange County, CA, which somehow got the attention of the staff of the Dr. Weil MD website. Dr. Weil, for those who don’t recognize him, is a best-selling health and wellness guru. According to Joe, the editorial staff of the website came over to his facility and took an extensive tour, learning about the different wall concepts. Their favorite system, and the one mentioned first in the article, was the TerraScreen interior living wall.
A few of the highlights they mentioned:
- Plants sit in individual plastic pots, each held within a larger wall-mounted metal frame
- Can be built with attached irrigation tubing or plants can be hand-watered individually
- No extra wall waterproofing needed
- Typical uses: behind a reception desk or in an office lobby
- Professionally installed cost: $120 per square foot
