Benefits of Living Walls

This is a great blog about the Benefits of Living Walls, besides that they are beautiful when properly cared for. http://gardenjunkiesblog.com/2010/02/12/benefits-of-living-walls/

There is a similar list on L.E.'s website. http://lively-elements.com/gardening-facts.html

An article posted recently in the NY Times discusses the pros and cons of living walls. There are many design factors to take into account for a successful living wall. There are certain types and styles that work best for the appropriate areas. For the past three years I have been researching living walls and trying out several systems as well as taking classes by other companies to learn how to install them correctly. I built my own prototype that was very similar to the one in the article built by Matthew McGregor-Mento. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/06/garden/06vertical.html?pagewanted=1&ref=garden
