How living walls work
Hey, I’m Rich
After doing a lot of research on living wall systems, I discovered Wonderwall. Compared to other systems on the market, Wonderwall is very easy to use, and its modular design made it easy for me to attach it to the posts of my pergola.
In my videos, I’ll show you what comes in a big kit and talk about the things I thought about before installing it. This should demonstrate how simple and straightforward it is to use the Wonderwall living system, allowing you to green any living space.
NEXT STEP: The build
What are living walls
Living walls or green walls are vertical gardens that are affixed to the exterior or interior of a structure and irrigate themselves.
In contrast to green facades (such as ivy walls), potted plants are inserted directly into Wonderwall’s planter set pockets.
The plants obtain water and nutrients from the vertical support rather than the soil in the ground.
3 simple steps to install
Step 1
Attach timber to the surface.
Step 2
Fix planter sets to timber.
Step 3
Water it in and add plants.
My build using
6x Big Kits
My time-lapse video will demonstrate how quickly and easily a Wonderwall can be constructed, regardless of the method you choose. It is plain to see that the brick wall is significantly shorter than the pergola.
In order to create a complete privacy screen, I went to a nearby timber store, had wooden battens cut to size, and screwed them into the poles of the pergola. You’ll agree with me that this strategy works wonderfully for building expansive green walls.
NEXT STEP: Add plants
I’ve no gardening experience, I selected
Hardy perennials
I envisioned an evergreen, lush wall, so with guidance from Wonderwall, I chose a combination of hardy perennials suited to the wall’s location and position. They not only provided the best advice, but they also delivered the plants to my door.
Planting scheme shown include: Blechnum spicant, Carex morrowii ‘Irish Green’, Carex pendula, Cotoneaster sal. Green carpet, Dryopteris erythrosora, Hedera Algeriensis Bellecour, Liriope muscari ‘Big Blue’, Pachysandra terminalis, Polypodium vulgare, Polystichum aculeatum, Polystichum polyblepharum and Polystichum setiferum.
