Here in Los Angeles we are officially on water rationing when it comes to our gardens. I already have many water sparing plants and have always been a big fan of succulents for their beauty and low-maintenance. When I saw what Flora Grubb is doing with drought resistant landscaping I fell in love on sight with these insanely graphic vertical gardens! Her latest vision is an installation at the LEED Platinum certified hotel Bardessono (shown in first two photos above) of vertical tillandsia gardens that are stunningly graphic and a vital design detail to the space. Also loving the framed succulent gardens they sell at their charming shop Flora Grubb Gardens in San Francisco. If you are lucky enough to live in the Bay area, check it out. I am very inspired to try some vertical gardening in my little yard this summer thanks to my new landscaping muse Flora. (Great interview with Flora Grubb at Design Sponge)
Nice post. I like it. When it comes to landscaping and labor intensive work I always bring out the bad boy toys. After destroying two back ends in my truck I finally decided to purchase some heavy duty equipment to help me on my way. I have found my dump truck and bucket truck to be very helpful with trimming tall trees and removing the debris from my yard.
ReplyDeleteNice designs. I like your idea and it's really unique. The design occupies less space but it does not sacrifice the art. Well done and keep on designing.

ReplyDeleteI have a friend who did this with some unused spaces in her kitchen as well. She was able to plant a few of her spices in these vertical landscapes, particularly the ones facing the windows, so she had a ready supply of them at all times. This is such a unique idea, and it looks great, too!
ReplyDeleteWith fewer spaces available for landscaping nowadays, vertical landscaping is the perfect alternative way for enthusiasts to pursue their love for this art and express their creativity with this new platform.
