Showing posts with the label how to carry out vertical planting

Greencube loves a challenge!!!

We are soooo busy currently with 28 projects at various stages, me and Harriet have had a very demanding but varied week and I'm now glad for the weekend.  I thought it was time to stop, just for a minute and post a few blogs, whilst dinner is cooking!: We have been working closely with Creative Landscapes on this project, greencube have designed a layout for this garden that quite frankly you ought to be a 'billy goat' to get to the top. Sevenoaks gardens are often challenging due to the interesting topography.......  we have cut into hillsides, retained with gabions , have designed block built walls with rendered finishes and now we are completing the almost impossible. Never shy of a challenge, we have taken inspiration from Patrick Blanc's vertical living artwork and also  Thames Barrier Park with the near vertical Lonicera greenwalls. Here we have created a planted bank that will, I know look amazing! Maintenance friendly and a 'living art' installation...
