11 Inspiring Vertical Gardens

11 Inspiring Vertical Gardens

Green walls are becoming more and more well known in architecture as the methods improve for creating them sustaining them, and incorporating them into structures. Pieces of vertical green are 2 types: vines climbing up a particular armature; or walls incorporating soil and plants in panels wrapped on facades. The choice of which depends on the desired appearance, local climate and growing conditions, and other aspects.

Technical concerns with green walls, particularly living walls with soil medium, are fantastic, so this ideabook is focusing on the effects of incorporating these features both outdoors and indoors. In most cases the landscape architect responsible for the setup is the ideal person to contact for methods for detailing green walls.

This first example falls into the kind of climbing crops within an armature; the latter in this case is a wire mesh that defines the walls of a tiny outbuilding. The coverage on the walls is striking, due to the equally striking plantings from the ground Salt Lake City. I have seen my share of trellises designed with a pithy amount of plants in the base, like a miracle will take place. This picture demonstrates that the best results occur with generous plantings in the base.

This photo shows an installation in the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Long Beach Show. Designer James Dawson is flexing his green muscles in the varied plantings discovered here: vertical green green roofing and hanging plants. The shagginess of the Giant Liriope green wall anchors the space.

This dwelling wall obviously expresses the thickness required for the soil — what looks to be approximately six inches — in how the U-shaped configuration of panels is expressed facing the corrugated siding. Generally the panels which are utilized for dwelling partitions include bigger trays with angled openings that give the plantings some verticality. To put it yet another way, the crops don’t cantilever horizontally from the panel, that they reach out and up from the angled trays. Here, the wrap of the window is a nice touch.

This system in a demonstration setup employs Woolly Pockets rather than rigid trays to include the soil and plants. As the plants grow they will pay for the adjacent bags, which makes the walls look more monolithic.

This setup is similar to the previous one, however, is indoors and farther combined, showing the coverage that happens whenever the plants flourish (plenty of daylight is helpful). The result is aided when the wall is given a prominence. Here it’s similar to a big green painting.

A closeup view of an installation similar to the previous one shows the variety of crops. The colours, the leaf shapes, and the leaf sizes give the walls its character.

Here a grid of green squares flank a set of double doors, framing the entryway. As one person commented, they look like big dividers which have opened from the doorways.

Here we view a wood trellis with vibrant plants climbing them from big planters placed below. A few of the crops are making their way into the roof joists. Eventually plants will pay for the walls between the windows and doors.

Another trellis system can be viewed here, however in this case it’s a fence, not an exterior wall. Privacy to the outside shower is helped by the blossom covering the fence. The climate of the Southwestern U.S. guarantees yearlong solitude, but those in northern climates should be aware that winter dormancy can open up the such a fence to prying eyes.

This is a great illustration of vertical green with green. The blend of rock wall, vertical planting Cape Coral, and wisteria on the overhead armature creates an extremely intimate outdoor area.
