Jeff Basset of Unisource Global Solutions, in Chandler, AZ, recently worked with our regional sales representative Jon Willingham to design an interior living wall for their offices. They enlisted the help of Joe Zazzera and his team from Plant Solutions in Scottsdale to install and maintain the wall.
We frequently have people ask us whether it is complicated to install a TerraScreen system. This series of pictures answers that question better than anything…

The Fixtures Living showroom in Costa Mesa, CA
We recently received several installation shots from our friends at Instant Jungle in Santa Ana. They worked with Kevin Evernham at Fitch, a leading retail architect in Scottsdale, AZ and Burke Construction on the showroom for Fixtures Living in Costa Mesa, CA. The people at Fitch describe the showroom best:

The TerraScreen continues to make its way around the world! You can find one at our partner’s office in Dubai, and most recently I received a picture from Rudy Ursem at Green Design in Sydney. They wanted to try out the system, and have been working with our partner A-Z Irrigation in Australia. They put their first one up in their conference room to see how it works. Rudy didn’t think there was anything special about it – we beg to differ!
They are currently looking at using them without irrigation in several applications. They like the sub-irrigation component, and think that they can make it work with their current 4-week maintenance rotations.

We often say that we provide the tools, and our customers use them the way that suits them best. This turned out to be exactly the case for Joan Lynch of The Inner Garden of Pittsford, VT. She wondered why she needed a water machine to connect to the irrigation system of a TerraScreen Interior Greenwall. She suggested to Jeff Crean of our distributor Bisco that a pump sprayer would work just as well. While we hadn’t considered it, we couldn’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work.

Last week we posted the layout of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s display at this year’s Chicago Flower and Garden Show. Their creative use of our products as elements in their design deserves another posting. Brian Mitalo, our local sales representative, mentioned that the design is actually a mock-up for a display to be installed in a courtyard at 10 E. Lake Street in Chicago. The SAIC has been working together with the Mayor’s office, Harold Washington College (which owns one wall of the courtyard) and Commonwealth Edison on the project.

We’re pleased to be working with the design team from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on their booth at this year’s Chicago Flower & Garden show. They are creating an unusual, vertical garden by combining our TerraScreen interior greenwall panels, the VertiGreen Hybrid trellis system, a vinyl printed backdrop along with neon lights. Their creativity should be a breath of fresh air at the show! We’ve been working with them on a design for a infill project in the City of Chicago, and they suggested taking the concept and abstracting it for this display. Plants were provided by Hampshire Farms of Hampshire, IL.

I got a call in December from Kevin Kraft of Kraft Gardens in Ft. Pierce, FL. He was working on the layout of their booth for this year’s TPIE, and he wanted to show their plants vertically. Living walls are one of the hot new topics for their interiorscape customers, and its a good way to showcase some of his plants. As one of the premier nurseries for commercial-quality plants in the country, we knew that they would do a good job with the display. It doesn’t hurt that their booth is the first you see when you walk in the show, and that they positioned the TerraScreen front and center.

We were pleased to be part of the California Landscape Contractor’s Association Trophy awards dinner on Friday of last week. It is always a big event, awarding the most prestigious projects in the largest state landscape association in the country. The organizers thought that a living wall would make a great backdrop for photographing the awards winners. Click to continue »

We received an email today that speaks for itself:
Just wanted to thank you guys for your help. We purchased a TerraScreen through The Plant Ranch in Denver. We had to meet a deadline for a grand opening and because of your help we made it! At the grand-opening people were gathered around the wall, smelling the herbs, talking about how to use them and generally really getting into it.
The email, from Jean-Pierre Sijmons of City Plantscaping, was great. They installed a double-sided TerraScreen with herbs on one side, and tropicals on the other. Again, directly from his description:
City Plantscaping installed a movable edible wall at the new LEED designed, Total Longterm Care state-of-the-art headquarters in Denver.
The wall is placed in their lunch room to provide the employees with herbs and vegetables and show TLC’s commitment to sustainability. The wall is double sided and has besides a herb vegetable side, it also a decorative tropical plant side. The wall can be easily moved and used as a divider in the lunchroom.
the "other" side!
Our thanks to Jean-Pierre and our friends at the Plant Ranch!!
