Biodiversity
The species-rich wildflower meadows that grow are a haven for biodiversity, attracting bees, butterflies and ladybirds with a high pollen flower mix. Wild strawberries produce food for local birds
Our patented, living wall systems create thriving vertical wildflower meadows from seed. They can be used for both temporary and permanent facade applications. They have been specifically designed to boost biodiversity, for low maintenance and ease of construction. They also happen to look awesome, we think.
We produce living wall systems for growing native wildflowers from seed in-situ both for temporary and permanent facade applications. They have been designed specifically for improving biodiversity but also have other great benefits. They look pretty good as well.
The Vertical Meadow Story
It all started whilst having my morning coffee, a new concept for living walls that radically rethought how they were currently being delivered. As an engineer in Arup for the last 15 years, having lead some of the most exciting façade projects in the world like the Jesus Cross, Sagrada Familia and the Google Headquarters in London, I approached it from a façade engineers perspective. Living wall systems existed, but they struck me as overly-complicated and expensive. So I started to sketch out an alternative, a living wall system engineered to be super simple to construct, packed with live plants, grown from seed in place, self-sustaining and most importantly a haven for bees, birds and other fauna…..

Benefits
Here’s why we think Vertical Meadow will soon be taking root somewhere near you soon
Increasing local
Noise Absorption
Cities and construction sites in particular - create a lot of noise. Our living walls act as an acoustic blanket for the buildings or hoardings they clad. Tests show our system can reduce low frequency noise by up to 15dB
Reducing Stormwater
run-off
Rainwater can be channeled through the system, both reducing the water needed for irrigation and easing the pressure on the mains drainage system. Our re-circulation system optimizes water use across the Vertical Meadow.
Increasing Local Biodiversity
The species-rich wildflower meadows that grow are a haven for biodiversity, attracting bees with a high pollen flower mix as well as other insects such as ladybirds and spiders. Wild strawberries also help to produce food for other fauna such as local birds.
Noise absorption
Cities and in particular construction sites create lots of noise. Our living walls provide an acoustic blanket on the buildings or hoardings they clad. Hand held test have shown our temporary system to reduce low frequency noise by up to 15dB.
Reducing Stormwater
run-off
Rainwater can be channelled through the system, both minimising the mains water irrigation for the plants, and reducing pressure on the mains drainage system. When connected to a re-circulation system water usage can be optimised for the whole system.
