| Vertical Green Walls
Urban Jungle provides the best idea for gardening in a small space: go vertical! Not only do vertical gardens look amazing, they are natural air purification systems by decreasing CO2 emissions. These gardens on a wall are very lightweight, do not require soil, and are irrigated and fertilized automatically so they are easy to set up on any wall. The vertical garden can be implemented indoor or outdoor, in any climactic environment. Plant selection is set by the existing climactic conditions.
We can design a vertical garden for you according to your individual space and environment using an number of different products to include Wooly Pockets™ (flexible DIY pockets made out of recycled plastic) and GroWalls™, a modular kit made of either aluminum or stainless steel that can be customized to cover a portion or an entire wall in your home or office.
How The GRO2 GroWall™ System Works
GroWall™ panels can be pre-grown or planted-in-place; and regardless of scale, can be applied indoors or outdoors with an endless amount of configuration possibilities.
Each panel consists of many smaller cells which accommodate plant material such as tropical plants, ornamentals, edible crops (fruits, vegetables, and herbs), sedums, groundcovers and grasses. The interconnecting design of the panels allows for top-down irrigation and a totally seamless appearance.
Why don't the plants fall out of the green living wall?
Our fabricated metal GroWall™ panels have several individual planting cells within them. The GroWall™ panels are grown laying down horizontally at first in the controlled environment of a professional grower's greenhouse. Once the plants mature and have rooted into the GroWall™ panels (several weeks to months) the plants are anchored into the special cutouts in the walls of the planting cells. The growth of the root system also expands the soil volume so it pushes against the walls of the planting cells, preventing them from falling out when the GroWall™ panels are turned vertically.
How do you attach the green wall panels to the wall?
The GroWall™ panels are hung on a simple bracket system that attaches easily to most surfaces, whether indoor or outdoor. A waterproofing membrane is recommended on the surface behind the mounting brackets. Due to the unique design of the bracketing system, the brackets sit off the wall with a 1/2 inch spacer, ensuring that the GroWall™ panels never touch the wall surface they are mounted to, allowing for adequate air flow between the GroWall™ and the mounting surface and preventing condensation on the back of the panels from ever touching the wall surface behind the panels.
Each panel is hung individually on the brackets, allowing for ease of installation and ease of replacement or adjustment at anytime after they are installed. Panels do not interlock or stack on top of one another; each is hung like a picture frame sits on a wall and then sit side by side to create an entire wall of plants.
 How do you water A GroWall™?
Because plants are living things that need water to survive. The GroWall™ system is installed with a built-in irrigation system. Each GroWall™ panel has notches in the top that accommodate 1/4" drip irrigation tubing. The panels have cutouts every six inches that line up with the drip irrigation's pressure compensating emmitters that allow for the free flow of water through each vertical row of cells within the panel. Gravity and capillary action in the soil media allow water to flow freely throughout the entire panels through these engineered cut outs and through the bottom of the panels where they are emptied onto the ground or into our specially engineered catch basins.
