Bring the outside in with a living wall

Living walls or vertical gardens are banks of plants fixed to a wall. Until recently, they were usually built outdoors. But now you can improve your air quality and create an creative impression inside with an indoor living wall from china forefront international.

"A living wall emits moisture and oxygen," says Oscar, the professional landscape designer from china forefront international. Oscar has been already installed 20 living walls for businesses and residences in south China, most of them concerned with decoration and air quality.

"Plants are more efficient than mechanical air filters," adds Mical Scorefield, the chief designer with SOL gardening, another     gardening manufactuer company specializing in living walls. He quotes the USA NASA Clean Air Study that says 15 to 18 houseplants will help scrub the air of toxins. A living wall will easily accommodate 20 species or more.

In additional to purifying the air, Oscar gives the details that  the same study shows that living walls dampen noise, warm up a room and free up floor space, an important consideration in her part of town where small, industrial-looking condos are the norm. And let’s not forget the wow factor.

"Anybody who comes in goes ‘oh that’s fantastic,'" says Bob Seabreeze, who recently installed a 6 x 6 foot living wall in the entrance way in his home. "People love it. At least 80 percent of people comment on it," he says.

So how do you get your plants onto the wall to earn those rave reviews?
Installing a Living Wall.

Imagine a wall of waterproof envelopes or totes. They really feel more like a mix of felt and rubber than wool. The concept is simple enough. Screw the fabric onto the wall, put soil into the pocket – the standard 15”x 24” pocket can hold up to 0.4 cubic feet of potting soil – add plants, water as necessary and voila... instant garden.
