Vertical Garden by Joost Bakker
Joost Bakker is a sculpter who uses a wide range of materials from leaves & flowers to discarded objects.
"Vertical Garden is a sculptural almost architectual form, allowing leaf and flower to inhabit spaces, to create spaces, with a natural raw beauty"
What a great idea as a simple yard divider that would allow light through yet create an amazing green wall. Could become a salad machine if planted with salad leaves, salad onions, Tumbler tomatoes and herbs.
I think with most styles of vertical gardening there has to a system of trial and error where you are balancing the amount of water flowwing through the system without it flooding out. Once all sections of the wall are moist then gravity and capillary action should keep it in that codition with only a drip feed. The walls I've seen, such as the new one at the NEC Birmingham, have plants covering right down to the base and there was little sign of flooding.
