I was fortunate enough to run into Fran Schreibman, Director of Sales for Blondie’s Treehouse at a recent conference. She was the person responsible for the VertiGreen Hybrid trellis project that Blondie’s installed last spring/summer at a Whole Foods store in Lake Grove, NY. We profiled the installation here and here. It was one of the first VertiGreen Hybrid jobs – in fact, they purchased several of our prototype units because that’s what we had in stock at the time! She shared several images of the wall taken this summer, and much info about how it survived the winter. Click to continue »

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.

This is a project that will define the capabilities of what our new VertiGreen Hybrid system can do. That might sound a little dramatic, but when we saw the images, we realized that the contractor, Blondies Treehouse of Mamaroneck, NY, really understands the product and used it to their advantage. As a reminder, they gained experience with the product at the Whole Foods store in Long Grove, NY. Click to continue »

You may recall the post that we featured here, about this Whole Foods store located in Lake Grove, NY. As we mentioned in that post, the installation of the initial 128 sq. ft. of living wall went so well that the owner decided to expand the wall to the entire area. Blondies Treehouse of Mamaroneck, NY, was the contractor that did both the intial as well as the subsequent installation. They’ve been extremely pleased with the way the VertiGreen Hybrid it has been growing in. We’re hoping to get installation images from another, much larger installation that they’ve recently done soon.

VertiGreen Hybrid at Collwood St.
We just got in pictures of our second installation of the VertiGreen Hybrid product, along this wall in San Diego. The project, specified by Gillespie Moody Patterson and installed by Valleycrest Landscape, was originally supposed to be a conventional 3D trellis.
More images after the break…

Images taken 1 month after installation
For those of you who follow us, you probably saw a “First Look” posting about a month ago featuring our newest living wall product, the VertiGreen Hybrid. The project, a Whole Foods Market in Lake Grove, NY, is one of the first larger-scale installations of this product anywhere! More images and information after the break…

We’d been working on a living wall project for this new Whole Foods grocery store on Long Island for the past few months with Blondie’s Treehouse of Mamaroneck, NY. The building had been approved with a living wall element as an integral part of the facade, so the store couldn’t open without it.

Training vines on the new VertiGreen Hybrid
We’ve been growing our VertiGreen™ Hybrid for the past few weeks. So far all anyone has seen has been the bare trellis and empty VGM™ module. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of what it will look like as it grows in. Both the white potato vine (white flowers) and Carolina Jessamine (yellow flowers) started in 1gal pots, and are interspersed with a ground cover to help hide the module (eventually). Look for updates as we go through the spring!

Several people who saw the last post were interested in seeing more of the VertiGreen™ Hybrid. We’ll be officially releasing the marketing pieces and putting up the webpage next week, but here are a few images of the first units.
The first look – VertiGreen Hybrid 48×48, 10″ module shown
This view shows the panel with the VGM™ plant growing module installed. The module would planted on its back (either with or without the panel), and turned vertical after a month or two. The vines & climbers will only take a few months to cover a panel. By having the module installed in each trellis panel, there is virtually no limit to the height to which a trellis wall can be planted. We’ll be integrating an irrigation system into the framework which will allow for simple, low hassle maintenance. While a monolithic planting will make a beautiful living wall, imagine what can be done with varying bloom patterns, colors, and foliage colors!
