WallGreen is an entry by Erika Jacobs Lord in the RE:FRAME competition. Re:Frame asks designers to come up with new ways to recycle printed PVC advertising banners. They want to know what can be designed from old scaffolding sheets apart from bags? WallGreen is a hanging vertical garden made from recycled PVC vinyl that improves indoor air quality.

Any PVC banner with a minimum size of 600 mm high and 400 mm wide can be fabricated into a working product.

Measurements for this example: 2000 x 1000 x ca 100 mm.Original banner was 2000 x 2000 mm.
Growing pockets are sewn to 160 mm deep.

Pockets are folded and sewn with standard thread along side seams and attached to the back layer at 300mm intervals.
Caulking at the side seams creates a watertight seal.

Growing medium is expanded clay and potting mix.

Plants chosen were Epiprenum aurem (Golden Pothos), Hedera Helix “Wonder” (English Ivy), Adiantum fragrans (Maidenhair Fern), Belchnum gibbem (“Silver Lady” Fern)
