tailored to different audiences.

PRIVATE PERSONS AND COMPANIES enhance their exterior décor with WALFiLii installations – whether or not in cooperation with an architect. Our planters are best appreciated in a well thought-out concept. We prefer an integrated approach to your outdoor space, instead of selling single items. A combination of (bespoke) planters – meticulously integrated into a design and preferably in large sizes – is a lot more impactful than a solitary arrangement. WALFiLii adorns private gardens and terraces, as well as highend commercial buildings and businesses.

ARCHITECTS integrate the WALFiLii range in their interior or garden designs, bringing out the best in both. WALFiLii products are timeless, versatile and of the highest quality. Their sublime designs complement any architectural style. And the bespoke design service allows architects to create highly personal setups.

PRETTY ALL-PURPOSE PLATE A WALFiLii fire plate is a versatile addition to any garden. Its uses are as varied as fire plate, planter, birdbath or barbecue. It comes with optional accessories including a Scandinavian tripod, kettle, grill, and even roasting pans for chestnut and popcorn. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL BOX TREES ESTABLISHED LOOK Box plants are lush, elegant and dense shrubs with aromatic foliage to the ground. They love living in planters and can be pruned into intricate or ornamental shapes: clouds, balls, pyramids, columns, hedges and shrubs. Buxus sempervirens is the most popular variety, but there are many other beautiful species out there. The Sempervirens Rotundifolia is a vigorous branched shrub with nearly round leaves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great for hedging, topiary and as a specimen shrub. The Sempervirens Elegantissima is a picturesque slow to medium growing shrub with dark green cream bordered leaves. And the Handworthiensis is a bushy upright shrub with a southern look

THERE ARE FEW PLANTS THAT ARE UGLY. IT’S

YOU USE THEM

HOW

THAT MAY NOT BE PRETTY

KEEP YOUR PLANTS IN GOOD SHAPE •

Only use high-quality potting soil with sufficient fertilizer. Coated fertilizers provide prolonged nutrient release during six to nine months for healthy plant growth.

•

Ensure good drainage – few plants can tolerate sitting in stagnate water. It is better to add fresh water regularly. WALFiLii can integrate an automatic drip-watering system in your plant container.

•

Depending on the size of your containers, we recommend you root-prune your plants and change the soil every five years so they will live much longer.

•

Prune your box plants on shady days. When the leaves are wet, you don’t get any deposit on the blades. Make sure to clean and disinfect your garden tools after usage.

•

When planting in the summer, you need to water your box plant several times a week.

GROWING YOUR OWN HERBS Patchwork gardening has taken the world by storm as many people are beginning to discover the joys of edible gardening. It is a fun, rewarding experience that doesn’t require a lot of space. A plethora of pre-made square metre garden beds are widely available. But if you prefer a luxury alternative, then WALFiLii’s Herbs & Vegetables range is exactly what you’re looking for! WALFiLii Herbs & Vegetables containers are square or rectangular, high or low, with or without wheels. Useful, gorgeous and available in all colours or corten steel to make an ultra-personal statement in your garden or on your terrace.

URBAN FARMING

Urban farming is the practice of gardening and growing crops within a city – a trend from across the Channel that is gaining traction. While the idea of farming within a city’s limits may seem novel, it is hardly a new phenomenon. Community gardens have been in practice for ages – at the countryside or on the outskirts of the city. It is economic, easy and

many

people are simply yearning for fresh, homegrown vegetables. Growing your own food right in the city centre is generating a buzz. According to American biologist Edward Wilson, the deep affiliations humans have with nature are rooted in our biology. His ‘biophilia hypothesis’ suggests that there is an instinctive bond between human beings and all that is alive and vital. The landscape is being urbanised so quickly, that we crave the natural world even more

LUXURY VEGETABLE PATCH Bespoke WALFiLii vegetable containers are aesthetically pleasing and functional. They come in different sizes, all RAL and NCS colours, as well as the vivid shades of the Botanic Textures range. If you prefer a more natural-looking finish, you will love our containers in corten steel. The characteristic coppery skin complements the green of herbs and vegetables. If you have more space available, plant some old fruit trees for instant impact. They are highly decorative with their attractive foliage. They bear juicy fruit. And their exquisite blossoms make an eye-catching spectacle.

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Creating an enjoyable outdoor space can be a challenge for city dwellers. Yet a green oasis of calm and a space to relax away from the hectic city life is of the essence. Green hides the featureless grey. It improves air quality and overall health and wellbeing. It even increases levels of positive energy. With a little effort, creativity and the right pots, containers and plants, you can transform your small outdoor space into a lush retreat..

YOUR

EVENT

VENUE

WALFiLii products not only adorn private locations. They also enhance the ambiance of your office or event space.

Or put your products in the spotlights on our sturdy pedestals. Since all elements are available in different sizes, finishes and colours, you can create the most diverse designs. Classic, modern, minimalist, industrial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you name it! We can put your logo or brand name on your WALFiLii product to make a more personal statement. After the event, simply integrate your WALFiLii items in your office or working space to welcome your visitors in style

SHOW YOUR COLOURS - TIPS & TRICKS Mother Nature is the best inspiration for colour. Spark your creativity with striking colour palettes straight from nature: pure and natural or exuberant, subdued or lively, whimsical or abundant. Do you find the thought of choosing your own colours too daunting? We will be happy to advise you on exquisite colour combinations for your planters.

INCIDENCE – PLAY WITH SHADOWS Is your WALFiLii planter in a shady area? Then opt for light hues such as white, lavender or yellow. Do you want to put dark-coloured plants in a shady spot? Surround them with plants in lighter colours to illuminate them. Pastel colours often appear faded in a sunny spot. Choose bright plants in striking colours such as vivid red and yellow or deep blue.

HARMONY – COLOURFUL UNITY Harmonic colours are closely related and grouped together on the colour wheel. Examples are blue and purple, red and orange, orange and yellow. Harmonic colour combinations create harmony and calm, while adding a colourful touch to your garden or patio.

COMPLEMENTARY – CONTRAST AND VITALITY Complementary or contrasting colours are directly opposite to each other on the wheel. They intensify and make each other pop, for an exciting and vibrant look. Great combinations are purple and yellow, orange and blue, or green and red

MONOCHROMES – ENERGISE WITH TEXTURE A monochromatic planter is filled with plants in the same colour, with variations in lightness and saturation. It may not sound sparkling, but by using different shades, leaves and textures, the result will be visually appealing and balanced. Monochromatic colours give the impression of simplicity and cleanliness – the height of elegance. Warm tones such as red, orange and yellow appear closer, while their cool counterparts –blue, purple, silver and white – do exactly the opposite: they visually recede. If you put your planter at the far end of your garden or terrace, it will appear bigger. WHITE GOES WITH EVERYTHING White flowers and plants enhance all other colours, making them appear more vibrant. Use them for transition between stronger hues that would otherwise be too loud.
