This post is for those convinced that garden design in the UK is lost in the 1920′s.
Check out these vertical gardens being built by London designers Loop.pH. This design team are using biological molecular structures to create a frame for climbing plants. These are sublime gardening accessories – innovative, beautiful and very useful.
Growing beans without a good support system is a total pain. The difficulty of securing plant supports when there is limited soil depth can be challenging. To overcome this problem Loop.pH have developed a ‘knitted’ free-standing frame or wall. Deep soil is not required to stabilise the frame. Plants can happily climb and produce in planting bags of limited soil depth. This is great for those who are surrounded by concrete surfaces.
The system has been used on MetaboliCity (a project involved in transforming London’s unproductive east into urban farms) and is scheduled to be shown at London’s ecobuild in 2011.
According to Icon Magazine March 2010
its so easy and effective as a building system that the designers are going to open source the instructions so others can develop it
