The captivating living walls from Greenscape Inc. just keep coming.
Three more examples of these impressive vertical gardens have been installed in the Triangle area, creating colorful works of art from vibrant, living plants.
Woodhaven Baptist Church
A benefactor gave a donation to renovate the courtyard at Woodhaven Baptist Church in Cary, N.C.
They wanted an impact piece to reflect their worship theme for the year: “Joy Rising.” Using a graphic image of a kite as inspiration, the living wall was designed in foliage plants that could be easily pruned to keep the design crisp and clear.
The nine-panel wall features heuchera, “Black Dragon” coleus, and ferns. Lighting illuminates it after dark, making it a true gathering spot where people can interact with the living art.
Cameron Village + NC Museum of Art
This summer Cameron Village retail center partnered with the North Carolina Museum of Art to host a living wall tied to an art exhibit: “You Are Here: Light, Color And Sound Experiences.”
The contemporary circular design, created with 25 panels, features a different plant selection in each section: colorful coleus, angelonia, pink begonia, and frilly sprengeri fern.
Mirrors and solar-powered lights were interspersed throughout the wall to create a mesmerizing effect. Visitors enjoyed seeing their reflections, touching the plants, and taking photos beside the vibrant display.
The Cameron Village Wall: It’s Back!
A highlight at Cameron Village for years was Greenscape’s free-standing living wall, designed with a cut-out circle in the center that became a favorite selfie spot.
After being removed to make space for a car display, the wall has returned in a new location. Crews poured a fresh concrete footer and carefully scheduled installation work to avoid disrupting a nearby restaurant.
The striking new diamond-pattern design features black ornamental peppers and duranta, a tropical plant with golden foliage.
Behind the Scenes: How Do These Walls Work?
A living wall is a panel or series of panels of living plants mounted on a flat wall for decorative impact. They can be arranged in an abstract design or created in any pattern or image desired.
A typical 20 x 20-inch panel includes 45 cells, each holding a plant—sometimes two, depending on the design. That’s up to 90 plants in one panel.
Installation requires precision: supporting brackets are leveled and securely fastened, irrigation systems are affixed, and plants are installed according to a detailed design plan. With a perfected process, even intricate walls can be installed in a single day.
Care and Feeding of Living Walls
Each living wall panel is fitted with a modified drip irrigation system that flows from the top down, ensuring every plant gets plenty of water.
Living walls need watering every other day during the summer, fertilization every two weeks, and occasional pruning to maintain vibrant, healthy growth.
Limitless Designs
Living walls can take nearly any form—from 3-D images like a hummingbird with colorful feathers to recreations of famous paintings, or even edible walls planted with herbs, lettuces, and cherry tomatoes for visitors to enjoy.
