TerraScreen is an innovative approach to creating vertical gardens or green walls. Its design is simple and straightforward.
This vertical garden system is the brainchild of Shane Pliska a progressive young interior plantscaper from Detroit. The Pliska family owns Planterra, one of the leading interior plantscaping companies in the U.S.
The watertight containers can hold plants that are sub-irrigated by the simple method of capillary action. Simply place a pad of polyester batting material under each grow pot. Add a measured amount of water, provide adequate light and enjoy the plant show.
You could also maintain the plants in sub-irrigated (recycled) pop bottle planters. They are easy to make.
Another approach would be plants growing in expanded clay pebbles (hydroculture). In my view, these plants would be the easiest to maintain.
There is much recent interest in vertical gardens and green walls. I will post more about them in the future.
