Thank you all for your comments! This was a fun project to do. It has a complex irrigation system and it is doing as nice today as the first day it was installed. See some of our other work at http://www.parkerplants.com.

Hi Felicity!
Actually if you are looking for green walls with other elements I would suggest you to try to explore some of Patrick Blanc’s projects, not the typical ones you see all around but some of his favourite projects where he mizes plants with other elements, being rocks or wood or plastic and water and so on.
In fact when Patrick was here in Melbourne I had the great fortune to work for him planting the vertical garden.

And he was explaining that he makes his typical vertical gardens only because the people likes them, but he actually loves to experiment more with differenmt materials.
Have a look at this video:
