This vertical garden is primarily made from ficus creeper. Its not a new generation living wall (ie made up of plants that do not normally creep up a wall such as ferns, grasses etc) but it certainly tricked me.
The sharp edges of the creeper gave the appearance that it was a vertical garden made from a system such as easiwall.
I was kinda struck how easy it can be to achieve a contemporary vertical garden ‘look’ without having to part with oodles of money.
Of course the number of plants that will achieve this style is limited but I liked the way the garden owner has broken the ficus square with hanging planters.
Great food for thought. This image offers plenty of scope for creating a cheap vertical garden.
Great idea. But you will need to wait 10 years for it to grow.
Ben – are you joking?
This creeper is notorious for its quick growth. One cutting and it is off – if you left it for 10 years it will take over the house! It is also known for its vigorous root system. It can split the cement of masonry walls – it needs to be carefully checked
i really liked this blog post. i love the look of that garden, its really different.
