LIFEWALL: Modular Vertical Garden Panels Clean up the Air. Creating vertical gardens just got a whole lot easier thanks to these modular garden tiles by Spanish firm Ceracasa.

LIFEWALL: Modular Vertical Garden Panels Clean up the Air

Their Lifewall product, which we just saw over at Jetson Green, is a modular tile that can support a number of different plants and is drip irrigated for water efficiency. Since it’s modular, the designer has the ability to place these in whatever pattern they want, which could create some really fascinating designs. Lifewall tiles also interface with another Ceracasa product called Bionictile, which is able to suck pollution out of the air. Lifewall was developed by the architect Emilio Llobat of Maqla Architects, Azahar Energy and Ceracasa, and it is now being marketed globally. Each tile is one square meter in size and can accommodate a number of different plant varieties. When used together the two products create a symbiotic relationship, where the Lifewall has plant matter that soaks up CO2, and the Bionictile converts NOx to fertilizer which is used by the plants.

Most green walls also feature an integrated water delivery system. Green walls are also known as living walls or vertical gardens. Such walls may be indoors or outside, freestanding or attached to an existing wall, and come in a great variety of sizes. As of 2015, the largest green wall covers 2,700 square meters (29,063 square feet or more than half an acre) and is located at the Los Cabos International Convention Center, a building designed by Mexican architect Fernando Romero for the 2012 G-20 Los Cabos summit.[1] Green walls have seen a recent surge in popularity.

While Patrick Blanc is sometimes credited as having developed the concept in the late 1980s,[7] the actual inventor is Stanley Hart White, a Professor of Landscape Architecture who patented a green wall system in 1938.[8] Types[edit] Loose media[edit] Mat media[edit] Structural media[edit] Function[edit] The B&Q Garden at Chelsea 2011.

B&Q Tower garden The B&Q garden was a showcase of fine, well-grown plants, so why-oh-why is it that every time I go to a B&Q the plants are either dessicated or drowned – unless I get there immediately after a delivery.

B&Q is known for its good eco-credentials, but putting energy into growing good plants and then failing to care for them properly is extremely wasteful. Maybe they should be giving grants to horticultural students who can then manage their gardening sections.
