Tournesol was originally known as Planter Technology which is still the name of the consumer products business. My interior plantscaping company back in the 1970's was one of their original customers. We converted the entire company from manual top watering to sub-irrigation largely using their planter systems.
Our customers loved us for doing it. They got higher quality with less intrusion by our plant care representatives who didn’t need to be on site as frequently.Natural Spring planters and Controlled Watering Insert systems (CWI) from Tournesol are the only systems I know of that can truly be called "self-watering". They incorporate an on-off switch to control the soil moisture. The systems are amazingly simple but incredibly effective.
Many successful interior plantscaping companies use CWI's to improve quality while reducing labor expense. It is a win-win arrangement for both the service companies and their customers.
On March 24-28, 2010, the Boston Flower and Garden Show will be held at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston. Tournesol Siteworks is pleased to announce that the VGM Modular Living Wall system will be part of an exhibit at the show.
Mahoney’s Garden Centers will be constructing a 1200 sq.ft. landscape installation for the show and has incorporated the VGM system into their design. Mahoney’s teamed up with BISCO, Tournesol Siteworks’ local New England distributor, to get the 10” deep VGM modules in early February so they could start the grow-in process for the show. After just a few short weeks in Mahoney’s greenhouse, the modules are filling in nicely and should be full and lush for the show.Check back during the show for updated news and photos on the VGM Modular Living Wall.
