The Vertical Garden
I've been fascinated by Green Fortune's PlantWall project, ever since I posted about it on notcot. I love the idea of creating a vertical garden, specially in a urban environment where horizontal space is hard to find, and even better if such a system can be installed indoors. Unfortunately, the PlantWall is just a concept right now, but Canadian company Elevated Landscape Technologies (ELT) makes systems for both green roof and living wall applications.
The ELT Easy Green™ Living Wall is a modular living wall panel that can be pre-grown or planted in place. Its rugged construction and ease of installation make it a perfect choice for clients looking to Expand their Gardens in new and exciting ways.
The basic living wall panel is modular, and measures 50 x 60 x 6.5cm. The angled separators means that you can use normal soil and even transplant nursery plants. Each panel costs $40 CAD, but ELT also sells pre-wired panels for indoor/outdoor use. You can even grow herbs and salads indoors, with the addition of UV lights.

Our brain is pretty much hardwired to react in a positive and calm fashion to greenery, and the lack of a garden is one of the big compromise that we've made by moving into a loft instead of a house. I could uses this system to turn of one the walls of our semi-enclosed balcony and turn it into a vertical garden like the quick mockup below.
