Summer may be coming to an end in many parts of the world but that doesn’t mean you can’t extend the season a bit by transforming one of your walls into an indoor oasis. Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to create your own vertical garden with modular planting systems and hanging planters that require minimal assembly. Whether you’re hoping to add a splash of color to your living room with a wall of blooms or harvest your own fresh herbs off of a garden right in your kitchen, read on for some of our favorite living wall units.
A Grand Living Wall
For a truly impactful living wall that is much easier to maintain than it looks, give FloraFelt’s vertical gardens a try. Using a modular system made from 100% recycled PET plastic felt, these versatile planters can be daisy-chained to create flourishing vegetative displays that can be as large or as small as you desire.
If you’re ready to take your vertical gardening to the next level, the Grow-Wall vertical gardening system allows for maximum creativity in the design of your green wall. As an added bonus, your flourishing wall will serve as a thermal insulator that will keep your room cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
