ouse? Check. Furnishings? Check. Art and accessories? Check. You might be ready to congratulate yourself on a job well done, but it would be a little premature.

irrigation systems that can be programmed remotely in case you are out of town and don’t have someone to water your plants. If you are the type to stay up to the minute with trends or would like to have a statement garden, a living wall is for you. While the idea of a greenwall is nothing new (Babylon had hanging gardens and Japan has used climbing plants to create green façades for years), the evolution of their implementation has been impressive, to say the least. You can spot living walls in many urban areas, and they are used inside office buildings somewhat frequently after studies have shown that visible plant life boosts happiness and productivity. Gone are the days of sterile working environments, so why not bring that same philosophy to your home? Seed Landcare specializes in blending the science of creating sustainable, longlasting green walls with the artistic flair of a painter or sculptor. Not only are greenwalls a great addition to any residential landscape project, but they can also incorporate company logos and can be made of succulents or even edible herbs for restaurant applications. Whether you want to place your living wall indoors, outside or construct it on a large or small scale, Johnson and his team can choose the right plants and design to get the results you’re looking for. They’ll also bless you with a self-supported watering system, so your maintenance is almost nonexistent. Partnered with the leading provider of vertical greenwalls in North America, Seed Landcare is proud to bring industry-leading greenwall construction to every client.
