wall of plants in restaurant Osteria Caponata (Camden Town, London) 240910

Awesome !

That makes a lovely change to all the plastic alternatives you often see at restaurants. Growing very well so they must like their space.

I must tell Nosypotter to look at this , we were looking at a living wall at the ' Urban Jungle ' in the summer , he was keen to try to make one at the time !

Hi Amy,

It looks wonderful indeed, but I fear it is very difficult to 'install', and even more difficult to keep them well. I once saw a tv program about it, and all the infrastructure they had to build for it, and the effort that went into it to water them. So I fear it will be too difficult, unless you're 'loaded' ;-)
Success in any case,
Hilda

I suspect it would need an automatic watering system of some sort. It sure does look spectacular!

I ,m not going to attempt it Hilda , Nosypotter and his friend were more keen than me , they thought it would be a good idea to grow vegetables in a limited space , it certainly looked a complicated thing to do but spectacular ,
The one we saw did have a watering system Whistonlass ....

Sorry, I had understood correctly, but I 'talked' about Nosypotter's attempt...
I see...(Whistonlass...)

I saw it about a few buildings in Paris, all very expensive ones, from one and the same architect.

I would love to have a go at this......perhaps one day!!!

I think it needs a lot of work, preparation and money, and is very difficult. Alas...

I think you are right, perhaps a very small area to start with?

Yes... I think they have to build in a sort of irrigation system, I once saw a program about expensive buildings in Paris, where they explained how difficult and expensive it was... That's why I haven't started ;-) yet. Lol.

Perhaps I might let you have a go first, and see how you do?

Hahaha, Dottydaisy, I think I'll pass, for once! ;-) Lol.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the lovely comments.

We had this wall built by a company in Godalming. Their after sales service has not been that great so we moved to Scotscape (http://www.scotscape.net/). The wall is not cheap but it is a great interior solution. Not so sure it would look as great if it was an outdoor wall.

Cheers

Caro Roberto,

(Spero che sia italiano.)
Il muro sarebbe certamento meno bello.
It definitely ís!

Saluti,
