I am about to install one of this ideas on a hotel my firm is building In Uruguay . It has a waterfront implantation so there is some salt in the air.
it has only 12square meters but its the first of hopefully many of this projects.

thank you very much
Adrian

This is a brilliantly simple method. Great choice of plants and materials. What happens when the felt deteriorates?
Is the felt secured with staples, screws or nails?
What provides the nutrients?
Thanks for sharing this lovely work.

Hi, awsome project.
I have a question that i hope you can help me with,
How did you secure the felt lining to the plywood backing of the structure?

Did you stretch another material over the felt layer?

Thanks
Trav

The wall does very well in San Diego. It will be two years in August, and every winter the only plants that go dormant are Acorus calamus, and the Alocacia.

I would like you to add that my green wall was a collaboration project between myself and Ricardo Marinho. Ricardo is a Landscape Architect from Brazil, and he learned the technique from Patric Blanc when putting together a show in San Paulo, Brazil. Ricardo helped with the technical structure of my wall, and I with the plant material and the water recirculation.

Thank you for your comments and questions!

Absolutely top! Can you tell something about the actual condition of the wall? We see in Europe that outdoor walls from Patrick Blanc are struggling to survive in warm summers and cold winters?
